Recipe of Honey Glazed Barbecue Pork

Vida Recetas Editorial

Honey glazed barbecue pork is a classic Chinese dish that combines the juiciness of pork with a sweet and savory glaze with a hint of spice. This recipe, also known as homemade char siu, is characterized by its caramelized sheen and intense flavor, resulting from the blend of honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and Chinese five-spice powder. It's an ideal choice for those seeking a quick but flavorful meal, perfect for weekday dinners or to impress guests.

The preparation is simple: thin slices of pork loin or shoulder are stir-fried until golden and then coated with the glaze, which clings to the meat creating a shiny and tasty layer. The touch of red pepper flakes adds an optional spicy kick, while sesame seeds provide texture and a nutty flavor.

Variations and tips

  • You can use chicken breast or tofu instead of pork for an alternative version.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or red pepper flakes to your taste.
  • Serve over jasmine rice or stir-fried noodles for a complete meal.
