About Char siew pork
Char Siew Pork is a popular dish in Cantonese cuisine, known for its tender meat and flavorful glaze. The dish is typically made with pork shoulder or pork belly, marinated in a mixture of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar, honey, Chinese five-spice powder, and sometimes red food coloring to achieve its signature glossy, caramelized coating. The pork is roasted until the exterior is slightly charred, giving it a smoky sweetness. While Char Siew Pork is rich in protein, the dish’s marinade is high in sugar and sodium, which can be a concern for those monitoring their carbohydrate or salt intake. The choice of pork cut also plays a role; fattier cuts contribute to a more indulgent flavor but increase saturated fat content. Enjoyed in moderation, Char Siew Pork can be a delicious treat that highlights the bold flavors of Cantonese cooking.
