I, myself, is a Chinese cook. I appreciate dry sherry is used as a substitute to Chinese rice wine in many of your Chinese dishes, as I personally think dry sherry is the best substitute.
A very key point of cha siu is the alcohol. That brings a lot characters to chasiu in different styles. Most traditional one is using a alcohol called 玫瑰露酒
I like test kitchen cuz they use ingredients that they know ppl can get their hands on but still try to keep the taste profile as close as they can to the original recipe. I've tried a few of their recipes and I gotta say they were pretty close to the original recipes.

@@KailuaDoug, No, she DIDN'T! She pronounced it PERFECTLY in Cantonese (6:55), even with the correct tones. It is obvious that you don't speak Cantonese at all.
Alan Au - Heaven forbid, I don’t speak Cantonese. But I do you speak English, and since she is speaking English throughout this entire show, is not pronounced “Cha Su”, it is “Char Sue”.
Sounded OK to me. I'm in Hawaii and there are a lot'of differing pronunciations of many words. We over-look mispronunciations made by tourists and newcomers and often correct them in a friendly way. Saying "Park the car in the yard" from a Boston native would sound totally different from someone saying the same in Pidgin English. If I was to be picky about this video, the Char Siu pork would be more redder in color.
@@KailuaDoug Coming from a Cantonese-speaking background, I'm confirming she pronounced 叉燒 with the proper Cantonese pronunciation. There are about twelve different romanization systems for Yue Cantonese. Yale Romanization which is the closest in pronunciation spells it _chāsīu_ . International Phonetic Alphbet spells it _[tsʰáː.síːu]_ , but most people cannot read IPA. Jyutping spells it _caa1 siu1_ . _Char siu_ may be from Standard Romanization that was developed in the late 1880s. I don't know why the letter _r_ is in Standard Romanization, but the English _r_ sound is not a part of Cantonese phonology. The literal meaning of 叉燒 is "fork roasting", so _fork_ in Cantonese is pronounced _chah_ and never "char".
Almost exactly what I do, but I don’t cover the pork at all and I don’t add water. I don’t mind the tradeoff of the drippings burning a bit - adds a bit more aroma =).
That was a beautifully executed pronunciation of Char Siu. This is very well executed, I have to say that the best cut of char siu is where the fat and lean meats alternate like a pearl necklace. The red colour you usually see in chinese restaurants is usually artificial colouring, and completely unnecessary. Even better dish when served with a fried egg with the yolk still runny!
@@davejones5747 , by sophisticated I mean recipe that is a bit more involved rather than simple stir frying which a lot of Americans already know about. Perhaps "more complex" is a better phrasing.
So I tried to make this tonight, but messed up a few parts of the recipe because I confused it with another Chinese BBQ pork recipe on the ATK website and it still turned out delicious.
Made this! Excellent but I had to make adjustments bc I used less pork (3lbs) and used pork loin (a drier meat). I paid attention to the other comment about the time being too long and adjusted accordingly. 20 min tented. 25 min untented 2-3 min dry 2 min glaze both sides. I used 1/2 cup water initially when tented but had to add another 1/2 cup during the dry time bc the water evaporated and the glaze on the foil started burning and smelled. Used only 4 Tbsp Hoisin and added 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce (saw on another recipe). Omitted the ketchup, used brown sugar instead of white. Visually I thought for sure it was gonna be dry but nope, it was awesome! Just like a restaurant! Other recipes don’t use the broil method at all but I think it really makes a difference!
I am Cantonese, WE NEVER put Char Siu, on top of Sticky Rice. Sticky Rice is Thai Thing - not Cantonese. One of the few time we actually used Sticky Rice is for "Dong" -Rice with filling wrapped in large leaves. Char Siu is NOTHING LIKE bacon: Char Siu is SO MUCH BETTER.
I agree it’s nothing like bacon but can have a similar moisture content as the thick applewood bacon and somewhat similar texture since thick bacon doesn’t get crispy
I made this dish. Here are my notes: The recipe itself is very tasty and I wouldn't change anything. Cooking for an hour at 300 was a bit much. Maybe my oven cooks hot or I cut the pork to thin, but it rendered to much of the fat and left the pork a bit dry. Same for the seven minute broil and three minutes to fix the glaze. There minutes and three minutes were fine.
Just got done making this pork just like video... one word of advice DO NOT I repeat DO NOT use a new pan you will end up burning your sheet pan. .Use one that's already got some char on it. (I used my bacon sheet pan) Also next time I'd use 4 sheets of foil instead of the two I used tonight. Otherwise recipe is PERFECT !
Normally when someone says sticky rice I automatically think sweet sticky rice. I'll go out on a limb and assume that she ment the rices' consistency not the sweetness, I prefer long grain rice but it sounds good either way.
Love how you two are so at ease and friendly with each other. Also, really like that you avoided using any racist or culturally-inappropriate references. Keep up the excellent work!
Yum! I have studied Chinese cooking and this is a favorite of mine. Please make soy sauce chicken, dry fried green beans , tofu family style and garlic eggplants to round out our meal! Thanks and looking forward to your next show( and the above mentioned recipes)!
Hello, Julia and Bridget, good job 👍! Thank you for showing us how to make "char siu" 🥩 at home. GOOD "char siu" is not easy to find if you don't live in a city that has a Chinatown or good Asian grocery stores. I shall definitely try out this recipe.
wanderingazn, it’s ridiculously expensive for one strip of cooked char siu and it doesn’t ever taste as good as homemade. I’ve had to do take out as a last resort and it cost almost $9 a strip. I could buy a package of pork from Costco for that price and get 6-7 strips out of the package.
@@judybabcock7591 Ordinary grocery stores always charge premium prices for food products considered to be either gourmet or ethnic, because they know that they can get away with it. Purveyors of mass-produced food also use lesser-quality and/or skimp on ingredients. Check out these other recipes for char siu: th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=char+siu+pork+recipe.
I just made this today with Chef John's recipe. This is a nice adapted recipe and tastes the same as what you would get at an American Chinese restaurant. My recipe was different because I used Chinese cooking wine and a splash of rice vinegar(to add some tang). I ended up using turbinado sugar because I couldn't find my brown sugar, which is preferable because of the molasses content.
I love this recipe but I think making the marinade and then prepping the meat would be a better choice.... Less clean up as you will only need to wash the board once...
char siew@honey sweet roast pork +eat with roast chicken and peeking duck@roast duck and 🍚,its called cantonese chicken rice..this is our special meal in Malaysia especially in the weekend at chinese restaurant..
Bridget and Julia, my boyfriend and I watch your shows on the weekends and we sure enjoy trying out all the different recipes. I know my boyfriend will try this recipe using exactly ALL (although I have my ingredients) the ingredients you’ve mentioned. He’s the cook and spoils me every weekend. I used to have family get togethers until I lost my husband, but I do still cook.
Love ATK👍🏾 I want to try the recipe, but my son is allergic to sesame seeds and toasted sesame oil, so would roasted perilla seed oil work as a good substitute?
At :06, Julia said it's pork butt. At 6:08, she said it's pork shoulder. These are two completely different cuts. Please clarify which cut. Thank you for this video.
...no they are not 2 different cuts..a pork shoulder is the same as a butt...the "butt" moniker comes from the name Boston butt which refers to the large barrels which stored the pork meat during the time of the revolutionary war..a pork butt is a shoulder...it was a called New England butt originally .
I cook pork butt or shoulder in a similar way. I add some water on the pan but don't cover meat with foil and don't use broil - let them cook in 400 oven for 50min (flip over at 30min) then it becomes crispy-outside moist inside.
Nice video. Like the way ATK goes into detail with video and, especially, the written recipes on website. Just wondering why you never mention that this dish is called "Char Siu" in Chinese? (Very similiar but thank God you left out the red food coloring)
Bridget did mention that this dish was "char siu" at 6:55 . Perhaps they should have included it in the title of the video as well as mentioned it right at the beginning.
It can be red without food coloring. Traditionally I believe red yeast powder or fermented bean curd is used to add the lovely red color and a deeper umami flavor.

Hi Alan, as a last resort or unexpected get together I end up having to pick up char siu but otherwise I make two large baking sheets of char siu for my brothers and guests. My brother loves slicing it thin and making a char siu sandwich out of it.
I’ve been making char sui for over 40 years with just hoisin oyster sauce and red food coloring. I do however sprinkle salt garlic powder and ginger powder on the meat first then marinate the pork up to four hours or overnite. Truly delicious with rice. Always one of my family’s requested entree for all get togethers.
The literal meaning of "char siu", is the method of cooking the pork but it's mostly used like "BBQ". The way my family says it is "Cha Sel". Cha = forked stick or just fork, a utensil.

I literally started to drool watching this. Must make it.
Same here, I think boneless shoulder roasts are the best cut for pork, besides back bacon and ham, my mother and brothers prefer ribs.
That marinade sounds wonderful! I would want to use it on everything.
Its perfect i marinade my body with it and so far im loving it

I agree it’s nothing like bacon but can have a similar moisture content as the thick applewood bacon and somewhat similar texture since thick bacon doesn’t get crispy
charsiu eat with chicken rice,the yellow rice cooked with chicken fatand chicken stock water,,spring onion,garlic ginger and other chinese indigrients

Although it’s frowned upon I would add a little MSG or at least to the pork rib version
Char Siu is a simple, but delicious chinese recipe. Char siu is versatile and can be used in many other Chinese dishes...

Looks delicious! Not as bright red as restaurants but as long as it tastes good!!
One of my all time fave recipes. But I eat mine with fried rice and a vegetable stir fry. 😍

If it weren't so late, I'd be on the phone ordering Chinese food now.
It's late now but the local Chinese shop has this pork shoulder on sale till Monday. I know what my Sunday's gathering is having :)
Ordering char sui as take outs or even at restaurants doesn’t compare to home made but can do until you make your own.

One of our small PBS channels played ATK and Cooks Country all day with a few other cooking shows thrown in for good measure. I miss the old episodes.
Can I marinate for overnight or 24 hrs?
wow!!! so yummiLicious😱😱😱
Now I'm starving 🤤
Making this tomorrow. Letcha know how it turns out.
Doing this tonight with chicken thighs... can’t wait!
Watched this last night. Have it in the oven right now! Will report back, but the glaze barely survived the day. I could eat in with a spoon!
I'll be fixing this soon

@Angel Bulldog awesome.. 🌟 Especially if you don't have a dedicated wash up team like most restaurants, /food establishments do
dark soy sauce is more for the color and some flavor, light soy sauce is for the saltness and the flavor.

Love these two! When they laugh it reminds me of Wilma and Betty hmmm hmmm hmmm !
Traditionally, char siu is served with Jasmine rice, not sticky white rice.
I think it just depends on where you are though, I grew up in Taiwan and we always ate char siu with short grain sticky rice.
In Thailand, us Chinese Thais have it with sticky rice.
If you wanna simplify a recipe for Char Siu, this is the way to go.
Looks nice & juicy after resting and slicing...mmmn 👍

Soy and Hoisin... Key ingredients to just about anything Chinese-Cuisine related.
Samual Iam And shaoxing cooking wine
That flirting at the very end is awwwwwkward!
The fat makes "char Siu juicy and it melt away while it's roasting !
Maybe use some of the left over pieces make pork fried rice!

Butt is a shoulder cut

Char siu is a Cantonese dish. Cantonese cuisine does not use Sichuan peppercorns whatsoever.
I’ve been making char sui for over 40 years with just hoisin oyster sauce and red food coloring. I do however sprinkle salt garlic powder and ginger powder on the meat first then marinate the pork up to four hours or overnite. Truly delicious with rice. Always one of my family’s requested entree for all get togethers.
luv the recipe, can't wait to try it. looks delicious....and yes, hi ladies. luv your recipes
The literal meaning of "char siu", is the method of cooking the pork but it's mostly used like "BBQ".
The way my family says it is "Cha Sel".
Cha = forked stick or just fork, a utensil.
Sel = to burn or cook with fire.
So it's Cha Sel - Pork.
Pro tip: The "r" in char sui is silent, never pronounce it, I don't know where it even came from.
Food reflects civilization and culture.
Yummy !
Quite a process but def worth it :)
I love the your recipes !
I'm just waiting for them to start making out after one of these cooks, the vibe and energy is there, and I'm ready
Yes, I agree! They are my favorite couple!
Not an expert cook by any stretch, however, I was wondering if it were possible to adapt this to make Chinese BBQ glazed pork meatballs? If so, how? If not, sorry for asking.
