Tradition HK Char Siu

£16.00

Char Siu, also known as BBQ pork (HK style), is one of the most iconic Cantonese barbecue dishes, featuring pork shoulder marinated in a sweet-savory blend of soy sauce, honey, Chinese rose wine, fermented bean curd, and different kinds of spices. Maltose/ honey creates a signature caramelised look and gives the layer of sweetness and savory taste. Roasted until the outside is caramelized and slightly charred, the meat remains juicy, tender, and packed with flavor in every bite.

Interesting fun fact:

The name “Char Siu” literally means “fork roast”, referring to the traditional method of skewering strips of pork on forks or hooks and roasting them over an open flame or inside a charcoal oven.

Dating back hundreds of years, char siu has long been a staple in Cantonese cuisine, it becomes our comfort food, cultural heritage, and culinary art all in one.
