CHAR SIU (CHINESE BBQ PORK)



Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork) image

"Char siu" literally means "fork roast" - "char" being "fork" (both noun and verb) and "siu" being "roast" - after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. This is best cooked over charcoal, but it's important to cook with indirect heat.

Time 3h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pork tenderloins
½ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup ketchup
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup Chinese rice wine
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
½ teaspoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

Steps:

  • Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
  • Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Five-Spice Pork Tenderloin image

Five-spice powder is a pungent seasoning mix used widely in Chinese cooking. It is made of equal parts ground cloves, cinnamon, fennel seed, star anise, and Szechuan peppercorns. For a recipe, see page 650.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup Chinese five-spice powder
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 3/4 pounds)
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the spice powder and salt on a plate; generously coat the pork tenderloins. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, and pour in the oil. Add the tenderloins; brown well on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to the oven, and roast until the meat is cooked through, about 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°F. Remove from the oven; let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve.
