Chinese Barbecue Pork | Char Siu
"Your favourite Chinese barbecue pork made at home! It is so easy to make and aside from the deep charcoal flavour you get from slow cooking pork over charcoals, it tastes just like what you get from the Chinese barbecue shops! I've made notes where you can make substitutions so you can make this using what you prefer or have on hand. Because there are so many subtle flavour combinations you can do, you can interchange and adjust but still achieve a very similar flavour, so I've provided some notes on what you can swap around. This marinade is also fantastic for baked chicken. Follow the recipe directions, just bake it for longer as chicken takes longer to cook...."
