I, myself, is a Chinese cook. I appreciate dry sherry is used as a substitute to Chinese rice wine in many of your Chinese dishes, as I personally think dry sherry is the best substitute.
Wish I had read this before I bought the Chinese Rice wine. :)
I wholeheartedly agree with you 👍
I love the show! Big fan for years! That looks AMAZING!!
She said char siu in Cantonese very accurately!
Bridget did indeed, even with the correct tones (6:55).
How can it be char siu, without the red dye?
Sorry, spent too much time on Oahu.

@@steveskouson9620, It can be red without food coloring. Traditionally, red fermented bean curd is used to add the red color and a deeper umami flavor. Here is another recipe for making char siu at home (from Pailin's Kitchen) that uses fermented bean curd: ruclips.net/video/MPZ5fw35bc4/видео.html
Luv u guys. Have watched u for years. Pork is my favorite so I love this. Thanx for all your tests.
I literally started to drool watching this. Must make it.
Same here, I think boneless shoulder roasts are the best cut for pork, besides back bacon and ham, my mother and brothers prefer ribs.
A very key point of cha siu is the alcohol. That brings a lot characters to chasiu in different styles. Most traditional one is using a alcohol called 玫瑰露酒
True
I like test kitchen cuz they use ingredients that they know ppl can get their hands on but still try to keep the taste profile as close as they can to the original recipe. I've tried a few of their recipes and I gotta say they were pretty close to the original recipes.
I am so making this!
I am Cantonese, WE NEVER put Char Siu, on top of Sticky Rice.
Sticky Rice is Thai Thing - not Cantonese.
One of the few time we actually used Sticky Rice is for "Dong" -Rice with filling wrapped in large leaves.
Char Siu is NOTHING LIKE bacon: Char Siu is SO MUCH BETTER.
I made this and oh my goodness. It is absolutely delicious! Thank you!!
Man that looks wonderful! I gotta make that!!
WOW keep up the Good Work👍ATK never disappoints Thanks
U2 totally Rock. I do love watching you guys and I love using you guys recipe.
That marinade sounds wonderful! I would want to use it on everything.
Its perfect i marinade my body with it and so far im loving it
😂
Looked amazing!
One of my all time fave recipes. But I eat mine with fried rice and a vegetable stir fry. 😍
Excellent
That was a beautifully executed pronunciation of Char Siu. This is very well executed, I have to say that the best cut of char siu is where the fat and lean meats alternate like a pearl necklace. The red colour you usually see in chinese restaurants is usually artificial colouring, and completely unnecessary. Even better dish when served with a fried egg with the yolk still runny!
Mouthwatering!
Kudos Bridget for saying "Char Siu" at the end of this presentation.
Except she mispronounced it.
@@KailuaDoug, No, she DIDN'T! She pronounced it PERFECTLY in Cantonese (6:55), even with the correct tones. It is obvious that you don't speak Cantonese at all.
Alan Au - Heaven forbid, I don’t speak Cantonese. But I do you speak English, and since she is speaking English throughout this entire show, is not pronounced “Cha Su”, it is “Char Sue”.
Sounded OK to me.
I'm in Hawaii and there are a lot'of differing pronunciations of many words. We over-look mispronunciations made by tourists and newcomers and often correct them in a friendly way. Saying "Park the car in the yard" from a Boston native would sound totally different from someone saying the same in Pidgin English.
If I was to be picky about this video, the Char Siu pork would be more redder in color.
@@KailuaDoug Coming from a Cantonese-speaking background, I'm confirming she pronounced 叉燒 with the proper Cantonese pronunciation. There are about twelve different romanization systems for Yue Cantonese. Yale Romanization which is the closest in pronunciation spells it _chāsīu_ . International Phonetic Alphbet spells it _[tsʰáː.síːu]_ , but most people cannot read IPA. Jyutping spells it _caa1 siu1_ . _Char siu_ may be from Standard Romanization that was developed in the late 1880s. I don't know why the letter _r_ is in Standard Romanization, but the English _r_ sound is not a part of Cantonese phonology. The literal meaning of 叉燒 is "fork roasting", so _fork_ in Cantonese is pronounced _chah_ and never "char".
OMG now I need this
This looks delicious! Thanks for all the tips!
I felt naked when there was no intro
I wish I could find a man that cooks as good as Bridget.

Try China town...
Bridget and Julia could not be any cuter! I love watching them cook together!
I'll be fixing this soon
my favourite
Oh my God my taste buds are begging for that right now😊 you ladies are demystifying all the Chinese secrets, keep up the great cooking.
So I tried to make this tonight, but messed up a few parts of the recipe because I confused it with another Chinese BBQ pork recipe on the ATK website and it still turned out delicious.
Almost exactly what I do, but I don’t cover the pork at all and I don’t add water. I don’t mind the tradeoff of the drippings burning a bit - adds a bit more aroma =).
Alright I’m doing this thank you!!
Oh wow! I'm making this tomorrow.
@Scott McMahon - did you make it yet? I want to, too tomorrow....l was wondering if it turned out!
Love these two! Great video and recipe!
Char Siu is a simple, but delicious chinese recipe. Char siu is versatile and can be used in many other Chinese dishes...
Now I'm starving 🤤
I must admit that Chinese cuisine is top among my favorites. This made my mouth water terribly as you made it. Yes, it is a keeper.
Yummy !
Made this! Excellent but I had to make adjustments bc I used less pork (3lbs) and used pork loin (a drier meat). I paid attention to the other comment about the time being too long and adjusted accordingly.
20 min tented. 25 min untented
2-3 min dry 2 min glaze both sides. I used 1/2 cup water initially when tented but had to add another 1/2 cup during the dry time bc the water evaporated and the glaze on the foil started burning and smelled. Used only 4 Tbsp Hoisin and added 2 Tbsp Oyster Sauce (saw on another recipe). Omitted the ketchup, used brown sugar instead of white.
Visually I thought for sure it was gonna be dry but nope, it was awesome! Just like a restaurant! Other recipes don’t use the broil method at all but I think it really makes a difference!
I’m glad you are doing more sophisticated non-Western food
Sophisticated?
@@davejones5747 , by sophisticated I mean recipe that is a bit more involved rather than simple stir frying which a lot of Americans already know about. Perhaps "more complex" is a better phrasing.
I love the your recipes !
Yumtastic!
I have saved this recipe as I have looked high and low for it. 😊 thank you
Nice recipe! thumbs up my friend.
luv the recipe, can't wait to try it. looks delicious....and yes, hi ladies. luv your recipes
If it weren't so late, I'd be on the phone ordering Chinese food now.
It's late now but the local Chinese shop has this pork shoulder on sale till Monday. I know what my Sunday's gathering is having :)
Ordering char sui as take outs or even at restaurants doesn’t compare to home made but can do until you make your own.
You made me so hungry!
Love these recipe videos. Thanks
Yum
Love this bbq pork
I just made this today with Chef John's recipe. This is a nice adapted recipe and tastes the same as what you would get at an American Chinese restaurant. My recipe was different because I used Chinese cooking wine and a splash of rice vinegar(to add some tang). I ended up using turbinado sugar because I couldn't find my brown sugar, which is preferable because of the molasses content.
Looks nice & juicy after resting and slicing...mmmn 👍
To make it look authentic add some red food coloring to the marinade. I will be trying this recipe!
I made this tonight and it was delicious! Although it was a little sweeter, next time I will make less sweet and add spice to make it spicy!! 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Looks delicious! Not as bright red as restaurants but as long as it tastes good!!
Yum! I have studied Chinese cooking and this is a favorite of mine. Please make soy sauce chicken, dry fried green beans , tofu family style and garlic eggplants to round out our meal! Thanks and looking forward to your next show( and the above mentioned recipes)!
You guys rock
Id love to see you ladies atempt to make a Peruvian Ceviche.
Hello, Julia and Bridget, good job 👍! Thank you for showing us how to make "char siu" 🥩 at home. GOOD "char siu" is not easy to find if you don't live in a city that has a Chinatown or good Asian grocery stores. I shall definitely try out this recipe.
Even then, if you can get the ingredients for sale, it's cheaper to make at home!
@@wanderingazn, yes, plus you have control over what you put in it.
wanderingazn, it’s ridiculously expensive for one strip of cooked char siu and it doesn’t ever taste as good as homemade. I’ve had to do take out as a last resort and it cost almost $9 a strip. I could buy a package of pork from Costco for that price and get 6-7 strips out of the package.
@@judybabcock7591 Ordinary grocery stores always charge premium prices for food products considered to be either gourmet or ethnic, because they know that they can get away with it. Purveyors of mass-produced food also use lesser-quality and/or skimp on ingredients. Check out these other recipes for char siu: ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=char+siu+pork+recipe.
I made this today. Let it marinate overnight and then baked and broiled as stated. I will never go to a Chinese rest. again. Very easy to make.
Making this tomorrow. Letcha know how it turns out.
One of our small PBS channels played ATK and Cooks Country all day with a few other cooking shows thrown in for good measure. I miss the old episodes.
Excellent presentation and execution.
I didn’t know Char Siu was served with sticky rice traditionally. Sounds amazing!
Regular long grain rice is just as delicious and my family loves it for over 40+ years.
Normally when someone says sticky rice I automatically think sweet sticky rice. I'll go out on a limb and assume that she ment the rices' consistency not the sweetness, I prefer long grain rice but it sounds good either way.
I made this dish. Here are my notes:
The recipe itself is very tasty and I wouldn't change anything.
Cooking for an hour at 300 was a bit much. Maybe my oven cooks hot or I cut the pork to thin, but it rendered to much of the fat and left the pork a bit dry. Same for the seven minute broil and three minutes to fix the glaze. There minutes and three minutes were fine.
Thank you
wow!!! so yummiLicious😱😱😱
Hi Alan, as a last resort or unexpected get together I end up having to pick up char siu but otherwise I make two large baking sheets of char siu for my brothers and guests. My brother loves slicing it thin and making a char siu sandwich out of it.
🎋) " Thanks, Bridget and Julia, for sharing this recipe with your viewers ! " (👍👍
Bridget and Julia, my boyfriend and I watch your shows on the weekends and we sure enjoy trying out all the different recipes. I know my boyfriend will try this recipe using exactly ALL (although I have my ingredients) the ingredients you’ve mentioned. He’s the cook and spoils me every weekend. I used to have family get togethers until I lost my husband, but I do still cook.
Quite a process but def worth it :)
Doing this tonight with chicken thighs... can’t wait!
Watched this last night. Have it in the oven right now! Will report back, but the glaze barely survived the day. I could eat in with a spoon!
This looks so darn good! Did you know they built the Great Wall of China with white sticky rice. *I'd love a recipe for that too* !
I love my ATK ladies. I want to have drinks with them as Dan makes us a meal.
Dan is GREAT!
Needs chopped green onion to finish!!! Looks delicious 😋
Just got done making this pork just like video... one word of advice DO NOT I repeat DO NOT use a new pan you will end up burning your sheet pan. .Use one that's already got some char on it. (I used my bacon sheet pan) Also next time I'd use 4 sheets of foil instead of the two I used tonight. Otherwise recipe is PERFECT !
Love how you two are so at ease and friendly with each other. Also, really like that you avoided using any racist or culturally-inappropriate references. Keep up the excellent work!
That pork is looking great and I would love to have some to devour, but instead of using rice, I would serve it with mashed potatoes.
A thing of beauty. I'm so making this, and the sticky rice !!
Can I marinate for overnight or 24 hrs?
I'd like to see this adapted for a pellet smoker
Love the technique...thank you. I have to figure a way to cut back on all the salt and sugars.
It's called "a different recipe"
Pro tip: save some of the rendered fat and juices and pour that over the rice.
The fat makes "char Siu juicy and it melt away while it's roasting !
That flirting at the very end is awwwwwkward!
If you wanna simplify a recipe for Char Siu, this is the way to go.
I’ve been making char sui for over 40 years with just hoisin oyster sauce and red food coloring. I do however sprinkle salt garlic powder and ginger powder on the meat first then marinate the pork up to four hours or overnite. Truly delicious with rice. Always one of my family’s requested entree for all get togethers.
Love these two! When they laugh it reminds me of Wilma and Betty hmmm hmmm hmmm !
Maybe use some of the left over pieces make pork fried rice!
Love ATK👍🏾
I want to try the recipe, but my son is allergic to sesame seeds and toasted sesame oil, so would roasted perilla seed oil work as a good substitute?
Toasted Pumpkin seed oil is a great substitute it's probably even better tasting but less well known!

These ladies are so talented
I cook pork butt or shoulder in a similar way. I add some water on the pan but don't cover meat with foil and don't use broil - let them cook in 400 oven for 50min (flip over at 30min) then it becomes crispy-outside moist inside.
Me too I don’t ever cover with foil but do add water.
Would this work with beef Chuck?
❤❤❤
Bridget giggles like Betty Rubble from the Flintstones
👍
6:50 we took your chinese recipe muahahahahaha
Note to self: Marinade @1:18
How do you get the red color?
Traditionally the red color comes from red fermented tofu. Some chinese places cheap it and use red food coloring. If you're not using red fermented tofu there's no need to make it red with dye.
I love this recipe but I think making the marinade and then prepping the meat would be a better choice.... Less clean up as you will only need to wash the board once...
@Angel Bulldog awesome.. 🌟 Especially if you don't have a dedicated wash up team like most restaurants, /food establishments do
dark soy sauce is more for the color and some flavor, light soy sauce is for the saltness and the flavor.
Flavor??
Bob Barna thanks
Hellooo pork.
Hahahahahh
Not an expert cook by any stretch, however, I was wondering if it were possible to adapt this to make Chinese BBQ glazed pork meatballs? If so, how? If not, sorry for asking.
