chinese barbecue pork

A delicious and simple recipe for Chinese Barbecue Pork (Char Siu Pork) which you can make at home with everyday pantry ingredients in just 10 minutes!

Chinese Barbecue Pork (Char Siu Pork)

vegetable oil

sesame oil

brown sugar

runny honey

hoisin sauce

oyster sauce

soy sauce

Chinese five spice powder

runny honey (extra

pork

Place all of the ingredients for the marinade into a bowl and whisk to combine.

Place the pork into a large ziplock freezer bag and pour the marinade inside. Make sure the pork is well-coated in the marinade.

Place the bag into the fridge and leave it to marinate for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight.

When you are ready to roast the pork, take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature in the marinade (this will take about 30 minutes).

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) (without fan).

Place a wire rack over a large roasting tray and half fill the tray with boiling water. The rack needs to be high enough so that, when the meat is sitting on top of the rack, the meat should not touch the water. The water helps to create a steam in the oven to cook the pork and to keep it moist.

Do not

Roast the pork for about 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes or so (see next step).

Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and add the extra 2 tablespoons of honey. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce is thick and syrupy. Use this sauce to baste the pork.

After 30 minutes, turn the oven to grill (or broil) mode on high heat. If possible, place the tray as high as possible in the oven under the grill. Baste the pork generously every 3-5 minutes, making sure that it is browning nicely and doesn&#8217;t burn. Once the pork has caramelised nicely, remove the tray from the oven.

Let the pork rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

This pork looks so juicy and flavorful! Yum!

A wonderful way to cook pork, the chinese flavours are amazing. A great recipe to be able to make this at home.

Mmm.. II am waiting for Summer and grill and chill :) Amazing and mouthwatering photos. Thank you for sharing!

This tenderloin is gorgeously glazed and cooked to perfection! I'm litteraly drooling! I need to try it as soon as I can :)

I made this for my family in Easter Sunday.  It is absolutely delicious and has become a favorite.  Very simple to make and quick to cook.  Couldn't get any better than that

This looks so amazing I am making it this year as an alternative to Turkey for Christmas!

delicious! I've made it twice in 3 weeks already. Thank you

This is amazing, taste beautiful. Would definitely recommend it

I️ just drooled!!! This looks heaven! I want some! YUM!

Wow! This is the best recipe for Char-siu. I prepared it as directed and it is super moist and oh, so flavorful. I sliced it and arranged on a tray with hot mustard for dipping as an Hors D'oeuvres. The guests all raved about how wonderful it was. Not one slice was left!

Tried this recipe a few nights ago - amazing!! I didn't have a wire rack so I roasted it in the pan lined with aluminum foil as suggested. It was easily the best pork I've ever had. I would just suggest making a little more marinade - I ran out while basting. Can't wait to make this again!

I just made this char siu pork did the quick 3 hour marinade and it was spectacular! I will be trying it again with a 24 hr marinade to try the enhanced flavour version... so good definitely reminds me of the authentic china town vendors I love. Thanks a bunch!

What else can i say, except wow oh wow! This was so good. Couldn't find my wire racks so roasted on aluminum foil. Made it with plain white rice and drizzled the extra marinade on the rice and my goodness.... making it again this week!

I make Chinese roast pork frequently with bottled  lee kum kee rib or char sui sauce and Ah-So sauce  but today I used your recipe and added a little Ah-so sauce to the marinade for the red coloring...cant wait to taste it.  Note:  leftovers good for making lo mein or fried rice or even as a side for this dish.

This was amazing! So glad I found it on Pinterest

I've made this twice. It is a wonderful jumping off point. The second time, I added a tablespoon of rice vinegar to balance the sweetness. I only roasted for 25 minutes, and started the basting/broiling process 5 minutes earlier to ensure deep caramelization without overcooking. This is one of my go-to pork recipes now! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Fantastic recipe!!! I’ve made this recipe twice and my family say it is their favorite dish now. The second time I added Sriracha to the marinade. I highly recommend it! A very useful recipe to have.

We just made this as well as your bao buns for dinner tonight and served with quick pickled cucumbers and carrots plus cilantro and green onion. It was fabulous and will go into our rotation for special weekend dinners. The pork was easy! The bao took some time but for a lazy weekend at home they were a fun project. Thanks!

Made this dish twice and both times I followed it to a T and both times were a bust. The pork didn’t turn out the way that it should be. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Couldn’t get the marinade syrupy it was still pretty watered down. I added more honey but didn’t work. I’ll give it a try a 3rd time.

Great recipe! I would recommend turning the pork over at the very end for a few minutes. I have made this recipe a few times and each I found the center at 150° and the very bottom (only about a 1/4 inch at the thickest part) temping at 135°

Made again today. Fantastic recipe.
Really simple to make.

I cooked this for my family tonight. It was absolutely delicious.  I served it with egg fried rice and stir-fried broccoli and peppers. Everyone loved it. I cooked one 600g joint of meat as that was what I had. I halved all the marinade ingredients and that was actually enough to feed the 4 of us (just).  Next time I will try and get 2 x 1lb joints as my son was looking for seconds!  Thanks for the recipe, from a cook in Scotland.

I have made this and it is beautiful. Am I OK to cook the meat in the morning and reheat sliced with the stir fry veg in the evening.

Have used the recipe countless times and it’s a huge hit every time! Highly recommend giving it a go!
