I started with your recipe making my own char siu after a few times I started to tweak the recipe. Looked after different recipes and my taste form the restaurants.
For me essential ingredients are now:

Light soja sauce
Oyster sauce
Fermented bean curd
5 spice powder
Red yeast
Maltose
Brown cane sugar
Rice wine
Garlic
Ginger

and for glazing

Maltose
Honey
Brine

Roasting in oven at 200c for 35min. Start glazing when the meat gets dry outside glaze minimum 2 times and roast for 10 minutes after the last glazing.

This combination makes me a real georgrous tase compared to best restaurants where I have tried it!

Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s so simple but tastes really good. It’s become one of my partner’s favorite ways for us to eat pork!

Of course it turned out a little on the dry side (I already expected this) but gosh ! 34 hour marination did so much to penetrate the flavours. So delicious. Thank you for sharing !

And I know what’s in it. May I suggest to other readers that they keep an eye on the pork to keep from over-roasting it. I would cut the raw meat a bit thicker for that reason. A good instant read thermometer helps a lot. When my char siu is gone, I will try some recipes from your book, which is a great gift for your bloggers.
