Char siu, aka Chinese bbq roasted pork, sometimes spelled as char siew or char suit, is the kind of dish that brings happiness and satisfaction, especially the moment when you take it out of the oven. The sizzling meat is bursting with deliciousness, filling your home with the mouthwatering aroma of roasted meat and sweet caramelized honey.

You will be shocked how easy it is to make char siu at home. Just marinate the meat overnight and roast it in the oven the next day. Since I first tackled this recipe five years ago, I have picked up a lot of insider tips and tricks, so this upgraded recipe guarantees restaurant-quality results. 

INGREDIENTS 
2.9g / ½ tsp salt
9g / 1 Tbsp grated garlic
6g / 1 Tbsp red yeast powder
15g / 1 Tbsp water
1134g / 2.5-pound boneless pork shoulder or pork butt
53 / 2.5 Tbsps honey to brush the char siu

I just received my copy of the book. It is a truly beautiful item, in both content and production quality. The inclusion of the QR codes to link to the original videos for each recipe is a stroke of genius.

Considering that Char Siu is the first recipe that you ever shared on your channel, this shows how far you had come on this journey. As a long time subscriber I'm thrilled to see upgraded and updated recipes of your older videos which I already loved.❤❤

Hi Mindy 老師！ I just ordered 3 copies of your new cookbook - one for each of my two children, who are half Chinese and, due to their (late) mother's cooking when they were growing up, both have "Chinese stomachs". The 3rd one is for me, because after 40+ years of marriage, I also can't live without home cooked Chinese food! I also own your carbon steel wok, which is much better than my old one in terms of quickly reaching and maintaining the high temperature needed for many of your recipes.

I made your recipe for this 3 days ago, so delicious!

[karenrobbins]

Ordered your cookbook! I love your recipes. They are so easy to follow

I think I started watching your channel because of your first video on cha siu!
I had just moved to Japan and was missing the kind of cha siu you'd find from the old Cantonese places back in the US.
The cha siu in Japan, while good on ramen, is nothing like the OG cha siu.

Congratulations on your book, Mandy!

I love the tip about reducing the marinade, I haven’t previously done this 😊

I stumbled into the original video many years ago when this was just a tiny new channel. I've tried quite a few recipes for char siu, and the original Souped Up Recipes one is still my favorite. I'm very curious to try this one. Thanks for posting. 😁

[IntenseVisuals]

My mouth is watering that char siu looks amazing!

[wendyneal]

I ordered my book! I can’t wait to get it! I also have your wok, which is absolutely the BEST! Great Job, Mandy! Love your videos!❤

[alberto.camposs]

I have been following you for a while now, and you are the main expert on Asian cuisine on YouTube for me. I have impressed many of my Asian friends with your recipes, so glad you have a new book out! I just placed my order, can’t wait to receive it! 🍜 ♥️ 📕

I Can't wait for my copy of your cookbook to arrive :) you are my favorite chef. Been Watching your videos for over 6-6 1/2ish years. I can definitely say your Recipes are the best I've ever had. I have your wok too and plan to be buying the knife set, stainless steel pots & pans set and much more in the future.
