RE: Throwback Thursday: Char Siu aka Chinese BBQ Style Pork Loin - recipe and progress pics below

Wow, you pretty much nailed it for the char siew @usernamerelevant !

On the red colouring side, place like Malaysia does use it for the sauce that marinates it. It just makes the outer skin redder than the siew yok (grilled pork - without any sauce)

Most cook from home char siew hardly use the red colouring anymore.

They do look really delicious! Well done!

That's good to know and really informative @littlenewthings ! The next time I revisit this recipe, I'm hoping to achieve the red color from smoking the meat on a lower heat.

Also, good to hear I nailed it! This was from my first iteration!
