Char siu is a Cantonese-style barbecued pork known for its sweet and savory flavor, achieved through a marinade made with ingredients such as hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, and five-spice powder. Unlike other Chinese roasted meats, char siu is characterized by its glossy, reddish-brown exterior and tender, flavorful meat. It is often used in dishes like baozi (steamed buns) and is a popular item in Chinese barbecue.
