Char Siu

Make the sauce

Marinate the pork for 2-3 days

They will turn into shiny brown

Bake! The sauce tend to burn a little bit, and it is sticky and bitter on the bottom so I usually put some toothpicks to give it a space in-between.

Cut it into as thin/thick as you would like!

This is one of our favorite recipe! Before I even tried to make char siu, I thought it is going to take a lot of effort to make one. But to be honest, this is one of the easiest recipe! You only need 3 steps - Cut, Marinate and bake! We love to have this with home-made ramen, or just slice them and put them on top of rice, sprinkle some cut seaweed, then some mayo. It would be a perfect Saturday lunch!

1 TBS oyster sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
(3 crushed cloves garlic)



1. Cut the pork 2-3 cm thickness
2. Mix all the ingredients in a pan
3. Add the pork. Seal the pan. (I usually double the saran wrap so the whole fridge won't smell like char siu)

5. Bake at 420°F for 40 minutes.
6. Done!
