CHINESE BARBECUED PORK
I got this recipe from Cooking Class Chinese Cookbook. This recipe tastes exactly like the pork in Chinese restaurants. My family loved it. I used it in my recipe for Recipe#186806. The meat was so tender and juicy. I baked mine for 45 minutes and didn't baste it at all, I was busy cooking other Chinese food.

CHAR SIU (CHINESE BBQ PORK)
"Char siu" literally means "fork roast" - "char" being "fork" (both noun and verb) and "siu" being "roast" - after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. This is best cooked over charcoal, but it's important to cook with indirect heat.

Steps:
- Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
- Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
- Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
- Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use a combination of pork shoulder and pork belly. The shoulder provides a rich, meaty flavor, while the belly adds a layer of succulent fat.
- Marinate the pork for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful dish.
- When grilling the pork, cook it over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the pork from drying out and will result in a more tender and juicy dish.
- Baste the pork with the marinade or a mixture of honey and soy sauce during the last few minutes of grilling. This will help to caramelize the pork and create a delicious glaze.
- Serve the pork with rice, steamed vegetables, or your favorite sides. Enjoy!
