Char Siu Pork (Chinese BBQ Pork)
For all those times you've gazed longingly at the sticky red pork hanging from hooks in the window of Chinese Barbecue Meat Shops… MAKE IT AT HOME! It's so easy - you'll be amazed ho simple the Char Siu Sauce marinade is.
Authentic Note: Traditional Char Siu is stained red using fermented bean curds (which is red) which is a speciality ingredient found in some Asian grocery stores - you need to hunt into the dark corners to locate it. I have no other use for that ingredient so I started making it using red food colouring instead and it came out the same, so I stuck with it. The small amount of bean curd used doesn't affect the flavour, it's for the red colour.

Three Chinese BBQ Spice Mixes for the Grill
BBQ Spice Mixes! We've been wanting to do a Chinese BBQ 101 video for you guys for a while, but unfortunately our building management hasn't been... cooperative lol. So we figured we could at the very least go over some spice mixes.
0:00 - BBQ culture in China
1:39 - Chili Powder Seasoning
3:10 - Chili Powder & Sand Ginger Seasoning
3:51 - Cumin & Sesame Seed Seasoning
5:16 - Other components of Chinese BBQ?
Note: Sometimes at BBQ joints they'll separate the spice mix with a salt/MSG mix. We combined them because if you purchase a pre-made mix here at the store they'll usually include the salt/MSG.
SPICE MIX #1: CHILI POWDER MIX
1 tbsp toasted chili powder (辣椒面, can sub for cayenne pepper)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (孜然)
1/2 tsp white pepper powder (白胡椒粉)
1/2 tsp Sichuan peppercorn powder (花椒粉)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (姜粉)
1/4 tsp ginger powder (大蒜粉)
1/4 tsp star anise powder (八角粉) - you will likely need to grind your own
(Garlic and ginger powder are relatively rare in Chinese cuisine, but are used in some BBQ spice mixes - and we like it)
To prepare the Star Anise powder: Put ~1/3 of a Star Anise into a grinder and blitz. We just do a whole one and reserve the excess though.
To prepare the cumin: Put 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds into a spice grinder and blitz til fine.
To toast the chilis: Use ~15g of a red dried chili that's medium heat (e.g. Arbol, Sichuan Erjingtiao, Japones, Guizhou Longhorn, Cayenne, etc etc) - this will likely make extra. Snip into ~1 inch sections. Toast over med-low for ~8 minutes, or until they're 'chestnut-colored'
You can swap the cumin seeds for ground cumin if you like. You can also alternatively use homemade toasted-then-ground Sichuan peppercorn powder, but if using homemade I'd swap down to 1/4 tsp.
SPICE MIX #2: CHILI POWDER AND SAND GINGER MIX
1 tsp toasted chili powder (辣椒面, can sub for cayenne pepper)
1 tsp sand ginger (沙姜), a.k.a. Shajiang, Kencur, Cutcherry powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
1/2 tsp white pepper powder (白胡椒粉)
1/4 tsp five spice powder (五香粉)
SPICE MIX #3: CUMIN AND SESAME MIX
5 tsp cumin seeds (孜然)
2.5 tsp toasted sesame seeds (芝麻)
1 tsp fennel seed (小茴香)
1 tsp toasted chili powder (辣椒粉) -or- cayenne pepper is ok
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp MSG (味精)
To prepare the cumin: Put 5 tsp of cumin seeds into a spice grinder and blitz for ~10-20 seconds til half ground.
To prepare the sesame seeds: Toast some sesame seeds over medium flame for ~5 minutes until deepened in color and you can hear some light popping sounds. Give a very light pound in a mortar to just crack them open a touch.
To prepare the fennel seed: Put 1 tsp fennel seed into a spice grinder and blitz until fine.
