We have two places within a mile of each other, the one was ran by the parents, the other was their son who disliked them. The sons place uses a sweet and sour sauce for their BBQ ribs, with or without bones, and OMG its is gross. BBQ means BBQ (Barb be que) sauce. I miss the other place that has real BBQ sauce on its ribs, they are different now, more sushi then what it was.

Tip. If you don't want to use red food coloring, the traditional ingredient that give Char Sui its red color is fermented red bean paste. If you can get ahold of it I highly recommend! Gives such a good unami flavor and is a great alternative to dyeing.

As a Chinese I approve this Char Siu. Also try to finely chop ginger and spring onion up, add some fine salt, pour in some hot oil and mix well to serve as a side sauce. Goes perfectly well with rice 😉

I can attest that fat content is key. Since I didn’t plan on making this recipe with the pork I got, it’s too lean to be as enjoyable by it self. So, I plan to add more sauce and wrap in some char siu bao which I imagine is what our ancestors did with the “less desirable” cuts. Also, if you can avoid cutting across the grain (which went against my usual instincts,) it will be nice for the finish product’s cutting.

Chef John! Chef John! You'll be so proud of me. I was a shit cook until I started following your recipes. Did you know, some of your ideas washed off on me???? I had no BBQ sauce last night for chicken. Guess what? I whipped some up with ketchup, vinegar, and honey. I added seasons like smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic and onion, black pepper, and salt, tasting the entire way. I had two people ask me where I bought the sauce and say it was the best they've tasted!!! It's all thanks to you!

As with all of Chef John’s recipes these turned out amazing. So good.

Can't wait for that steamed buns video!!

Hello Chef John! So glad you make my favourite Cantonese food. Traditionally, the red colour is come from the Red Yeast Rice (紅麴). Just soak some in the soy sauce for an hour and discard the rice, you'll get the natural red colour in the soy sauce.

LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR AS MUCH AS YOUR RECIPES

WOW that looks good. Made my mouth water. Will make this this weekend for sure thank you John

Char siu is divine! I was taught to use red bean curd and dark brown sugar in the sauce by my friend from HK who is a fabulous home cook but that might just be her family's take on it. I usually do mine in the oven on a rack and it always turns out well.

I was a chef for a few years and I love to eat. I love this guy's recipes. I know when a recipe will taste good and all his recipes will taste good.

I love your videos. I cook as much as I can your recipes. You're a legend.

If you want to omit the red food coloring and make it somewhat more authentic, replace the ketchup with fermented red bean paste. It'll give it that color and funk.

@jylng7070

Any Chinese supermarket will carry it. There is a white fermented bean curd and a red one, so make sure it's the red one that you buy. It usually comes in an opaque ceramic jar, whereas the white bean curd comes in a clear glass jar. It may be labelled as "preserved red bean curd". If in doubt, you can ask as I'm sure there will be someone who can help.

I was waiting patiently for Chef John to pull out this key ingredient... but he pulled out red food colouring instead ='(

The signature ingredient is actually a special liqueur that has a very unique flavor for the marinade. But the beauty of chef John’s recipe here is using readily available ingredients. Who cares if it’s 100% authentic as long as it tastes good, and that’s the beauty of cooking. I had encountered multiple times of pleasant surprise while trying out different approaches to traditional dishes. To me, that’s progress. To food snobs, that’s “I don’t know shit”. : )

Chef John is the legendary char siu master. This looks really delicious and authentic too, but also very unique!! 😋

Going back through watching videos I haven't seen. Aside from loving the simple ways you go through these recipes that makes me feel likw I could pull them off perfect the first time, I wat h these videos because you neve fail to bring a smile to my face with those ridiculous rhymes and some of the things you say. I don't know why it still surprises me, but it does and I love it! Love your videos!
