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.
