Chinese Style Barbequed Pork ~Char Siu

If you like Chinese-style Barbeque Pork (Char Siu),

I believe you'll like this recipe.

.

Sometimes I make Char Siu from small pork riblets, or pieces of pork shoulder, it's also delicious as a marinade for pork chops. I used pork loin chops this time.

.Marinade for Chinese-style Barbeque Pork

Char Siu

.2 Tablespoons hoisin sauce

4 Tablespoons ordinary tomato catsup

4 Tablespoons sugar

1 Tablespoon dark soy sauce

.

Mix marinade ingredients. Place meat in a non-reactive container, or resealable plastic bag. Add enough marinade to cover generously. (If there is any marinade left -- which has not had contact with the pork-- it will keep, covered and refrigerated for a very long time, ready for the next time you make this, or freeze marinade indefinitely.)

.

Allow meat to marinate at least 4 hours, or overnight.

.

Preheat oven to 375-degrees (F), oven rack positioned in center.

.

Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil, and place a roasting rack within the pan. Place the marinated meat on the rack and roast, turning once until done. (If marinade begins to brown too quickly, reduce oven to 350-degrees and continue baking until done.)

Just a note, I usually bake mine at 350-degrees the entire time.

..

Plain steamed rice and vegetables are the perfect side dishes for this highly flavored meat.

.

I hope you enjoy it.
