Char Siu is a Chinese sauce used in Cantonese cuisine. It is traditionally made with honey, five spice powder, red fermented bean curd, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce and rice wine. Though today, it also contains red food colouring, which gives it, its distinctive rich red colour. The sauce is generally used as a meat marinade or glaze especially for Chinese BBQ pork or as a flavouring for BBQ pork steamed buns eaten at Yum Cha. This recipe uses the sauce as both a flavouring and glaze and is a perfect main course menu option for a lunch or dinner service or a Chinese themed meal.

SUGGESTED GARNISH: Finely Sliced Garlic Chives
