BBQ Pork Chinese, also known as Char Siu, is a flavorful Cantonese dish originating from southern China. Made by marinating pork—often shoulder or belly cuts—in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Chinese five-spice, and fermented bean curd, it is then roasted to achieve a glossy, caramelized finish. Char Siu is rich in protein and iron, essential for muscle and blood health, but its high sugar and sodium content may be a concern for those monitoring blood pressure or reducing added sugars. Often served with steamed rice or noodles, it provides energy from carbohydrates while delivering a bold combination of sweet and savory flavors. Despite being a delicacy with cultural significance, moderation is key due to its calorie density and potential for high-fat content depending on the cut of pork used.
