  • Watch Daddy Lau teach us how to make char siu! Also known as Chinese BBQ Pork, this is a classic Cantonese dish that's extremely popular. If you’re new to char siu, it’s an extremely juicy, sweet, and savory pork dish, and it’s a popular entree on its own - and a pleasant addition to many different types of noodles, rice dishes, and pastries like cha siu bao.

    Your dad is such an amazing teacher! He tells you all the key things most chefs skip over as assumed knowledge, like not letting the pork marinate too long, letting it come up to room temp before roasting and which way to cut at which step in the recipe.

Most importantly, I really learn some tricks that are used in restaurant that I can never grasp from other cooks. I respect Chef Lau pretty much.

I was extremely pleased that it still came out so tender and juicy despite having to use the air fryer. It must have been due to all the marinating time.

    I just made this almost exactly ingredients (MINUS red wine), 8 hr marinate time, thickness, and cooking time/temp & basting. The fermented red bean curd gave a nice shade of redness. I made double the marinade because I had 4lbs of pork shoulder and froze some in vacuum sealed bags for later use in Wonton egg noodle soup or pork fried rice…. IT WAS DELICIOUS. Thank you Papa Lau for another great recipe.

    Thanks for sharing Chinese and Asian culture. Knowing someone still honor and remember traditional festivals and cultures makes me feel warm and gratified. These traditional stuffs creates bonds to us and bring family together. It reminds us where we come from and linked us with our ancestor, cross the space and time. When I have kids I will do the same thing. Thanks for documenting all of these.

    In the Philippines, restaurants owned by Chinese-Filipinos list Char Siu as Asado in their menus. After the Spanish word for roast. So Char Siu Rice is Asado Rice, etc.
    Only recently did restaurants refer to it as Char Siu when Tim Ho Wan, Hawker Chan's, and other Asian brands opened shop.
    Regardless of the name, it is still my favorite since I was a child. 👍🏽🙏🏽❤️
