Hubby is Vietnam vet, and has eaten all over Southeast Asia.
He said this is the best pork he has ever had! By the way my first instant pot meal!
Thank-you, Flo!

Hi Flo, I am a Malaysian and over here, you will still see chickens, ducks and char siew hanged up in the eatery shops! Thank you for showing this video. Yeah! I will definitely make this! Char Siew is truly our favourite!

I love how you let us know about ingredients that we will use more than once.

My fam loves this.. I make this with the country style spare ribs - they are pretty thick so I cook them a little longer and they are great.. I also tried taking the water liquid from the instapot after the ribs are cooked - putting into a fat separator to get just the liquid - cooking rice in the juice - I do cut it down with 1/2 water - turned out great as well..

Flo, this is the best char siu recipe I've seen. I will definitely try it. I have seen you on America's Test Kitchen for years now, and have always loved your explanation and presentation. You are an excellent Sensei. I'm an American who learned to cook Chinese food from watching Martin Yan in the 80s and 90s (Yan Can Cook) and through many old-fashioned Chinese cookbooks I've worked hard to acquire. Years ago, I learned to cook pork pot stickers from the ATK recipe and sent a dozen to the owner of a local Chinese restaurant as a delivery tip. My wife told me I was crazy. (Yes, true.) Next time I called to order he said, "Cody, you come work for me". Before that, I invited a friend from Hong Kong over for dinner and served him my egg-drop soup and he said it tasted just like his mother used to make. To me, you are the new Martin Yan. I mean that as the highest compliment.

I was born in San Francisco, I'm not Asian, but I love Chinatown too. That BBQ dish looks exceptional and delicious. I live in Arizona out in the country now, and wouldn't know where I could get that alcohol so I appreciate the bourbon suggestion. Flo, you are an awesome cook, dude you are an awesome taster. Thank you guys, great video!

STOP! It's my 2:30 am in Georgia and I'm re-watching this video because you guys are so great. I've got a month old Insta-Pot unboxed, frozen pork belly and now starving. I think this was the first video of you guys I watched and subbed and liked. I'm going to bed and dream of Char Siu now.

Hey Flo & Dude!!
We lived in HK over 20 years and have scarfed down some off the best cha siu in the world. We live in Bangkok now. We followed your recipe tonight to a T, using pork belly. Absolute perfection. Our son and BH pronounced it " the best" they've ever had. Thanks for sharing. We enjoy your vids. My wife was born in Hong Kong and also fuses her Cantonese cooking with a touch of western. Will try with shoulder next time.😎👍🏻

Watching the progression of your videos from your early days to now, I love how comfortable and relaxed you have become in front of the camera

"Dude" has the Best Job Ever!!!! Food Taster!!! :-0😁

[antoniocuencanolan]

Finally did this for dinner. Perfect! Very soft and tasty. We needed 6 minutes on broiler. Thank you for this! We all loved it.

[rosariolarion]

I’ve been wanting to learn how to cook this kind of barbecue. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this recipe. Your Dude had done great job in tasting it. You are such a delight in front of the camera as looks so easy to prepare. Thank you. You guys are great tandem.

U got that right! Ive tried Chinese BBQ pork in the states, hong kong and south east asia. NOTHING BEATS the ones in Malaysia. BBQ Pork & crispy pork belly (siew yoke) is the bomb there. Brought guests from hong kong to malaysia too. It's so good, they brought some home to share with their families!

[khimlim]

I left Malaysia over 3 decades ago and have been living in Toronto since. I'm so used to HK style char siu that I've almost forgotten about how it used to taste like back home until today... I made your version with pork butt (because that's all I have) and broiled in my Ninja (because my oven's broiler wasn't working). OMG! It's the best char siu as far as I could remember! My Hungarian husband said "It's the best!" and I had to stop him from finishing the other half :-) Thank you for making it so simple and delicious!

[ranger]

Seriously ... I think I actually smelled this through my computer! Thanks!

[weimingwee]

Oh for sure the best char siew is in Malaysia! I am Singaporean but my family and I get our char siew fix in Malaysia!! Best!!

[rnmansfieldjr]

Char siu is a personal fav. Have watched this presentation several times; I never tire of your demonstration! Thx to Dude as well! Mahalo!
