Chinese Baked BBQ Pork Recipe

Chinese barbecue pork slow cooked making it juicy on the inside with the most incredible sticky glaze on the outside and it is definitely finger licking good! I will be making this one again!

Trim as much of the visible fat from the pork shoulder that you can.

Cut the pork into 1” thick long strips.

In a bowl combine the marinade ingredients.

In a ziploc bag add the meat and marinade removing all the air you can from the bag then seal tight. Refrigerate and marinate the meat for 24-48 hours.

Preheat oven to 320º. Cover a sheet pan with foil and place a rack on top if you have one.

Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on the rack, saving the marinade. Roast meat for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Mix in the extra honey and stir over medium heat, bring the marinade to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes then remove from the heat.

Remove the pork from the oven and brush marinade on top then turn the meat over and brush marinade on other side. Roast another 30 minutes. Remove pork from the oven, brush with marinade again, then turn and brush other side too. Roast for 20 minutes but keep an eye on it and if it is charring too much cover with foil.

Baste one more time on the top then bake for 10 minutes more until caramelize and sticky. Meat should be tender but not falling apart. Let rest for 10 minutes, slice into smaller pieces and serve.

  1. “Chia Siu” is one of the hubby’s favourite and we always get takeout. I’ll have to try this homemade recipe. It looks amazing, Diane. You nailed the colour!

    • Thank you Ab! It turned out so good! It’s funny you mention the color because the recipe said to buy red bean curd for the color but we don’t have an Asian Store to buy it. I did what they said not to do and added liquid red food coloring. It didn’t seem to change anything taste wise and seemed to be the right color.

    • I think you’re right Jeff, it turned out amazing and could go on plenty of other dishes, but I can’t take full credit for it. I have been trying different types of foods. The ingredients in this were spot on.

    • I honestly don’t remember. I made this before the kitchen remodel started in May. I was scrolling through my screenshots and realized I never posted this and Texas Sheet cake. 🤦🏽‍♀️

    • This was the first time I have ever used it and I bought it. All of the ingredients are very common and I have them all so I don’t know why I didn’t make my own but it sure was delicious! I want to try it in soups, chicken and anything thing else I think of.
