Okay, I had this quick request from a (good) client for some of my char siu pork. So, I don’t have a lot of images for this one. But regardless of step-by-step photos, this is one tasty piece of pork… Oh, and if anyone is thinking that they are seeing double... you are. This is my second recipe for Char Siu pork. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
