How to cook deliciously - Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork)

1. Stage

Gather all ingredients. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

2. Stage

Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red bean curd, and five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, slice each pork tenderloin lengthwise into 1 1/2- to 2-inch-thick strips. Place pork strips in a large, resealable plastic bag.

4. Stage

Pour marinade into the bag with the pork. Squeeze air from the bag, seal, and turn the bag a few times until pork is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

5. Stage

When ready to cook, preheat a charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

6. Stage

Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Set aside the remaining marinade for basting.

7. Stage

Rake the hot coals into two equal piles on opposite sides of the charcoal grate. Add a small container of water to the grate. Place pork strips in the center of the grate for indirect cooking.

8. Stage

Cook pork over indirect heat, turning regularly and basting as desired, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 30 minutes or longer. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
