    Char siu is an ancient Cantonese pork-roasting technique featuring long strips of meat marinated in a spicy-sweet sauce. It’s a common cold-case item in Asian supermarkets, but this version blows that clamshell-encased piggy right out of the water. Think tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat, slowly cooked sous vide to develop incredible flavor and texture, then quickly finished on the grill for a hit of smoke and char.

    I kind of miss the old involved and complicated after videos. Like yes it’s extra steps but this is a jar sauce, sous vide and sear. Not really anything crazy like what I like to watch them for.

      Sous vides is overrated IMO. I cook cuts like that all the time on the grill and an extra 5min on indirect heat will still leave the meat cooked and juicy inside without all the hullabaloo with the water circulator.

    A right bark-to-meat ratio is key to Char Siu goodness, and I ,as a chinese, dont approve this. Char Siu means: "Roast meat on skewers" , Im not against using sous vide as a cheat code to stable doneness, but this chunk of meat too big and its way out of the Char Siu universe.

    Only used about 6 times so far but food turning out great. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxK2YRU9uBOXzuIEV660Qo3sX7dJDJLg72 Nice tender roasts. You do want to get a lid to go over your stock pot to keep water from evaporating. I've used it for 6-48 hours with lots of luck. A lot is trial and error to figure out since thickness and cut help determine the best time. 135 always gives a perfect med (pink all the way through). I cooked frozen solid 3 1/2" roast for 48 hours ... it was so tender its almost falling apart. Nice to put it in and just forget about it, with silicone lid I didn't have to add water at all during 48 hours.

    Feel like Grant not confident in this video.
    1. Yes. Agree with the 'char siew' that you make is more tender and juicy but hope you try the original char siew before.
    2. Normaly chinese will not serve char siew with lime or lemon, some of us will serve it with plum sauce. Mustard is still acceptable.
    3. The sauce that you use to marinated not enough for that 2 big whole pork. If you using that to support your marinate or to enhance flavour is ok.
    4. Original char siew will using lot of sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, some support aroma ingredian like spring onion garlic as well and marinate over night.
    Just from my view. Not to say you are wrong because different people have different way to cook the food.

  • @patrickcrispen

    For thosegiving CS grief for using a bottled sauce, their recipe page at www.chefsteps.com/activities/char-siu-tender-cantonese-style-barbecued-pork explains why: "We tend to mix up our own marinades in the ChefSteps kitchen, but we were such fans of the results we got with Lee Kum Kee’s Char Siu Sauce (available on Amazon) that we decided a little shortcut was in order. Keep a bottle of that delicious stuff on hand, and you will have a foolproof centerpiece dish that requires very little effort but will still be the star of the potluck, book club gathering, or tailgate. Stress-free and totally tasty? See, this is why we fell in love with the whole sous vide thing in the first place."
    I made ATK's 12 ingredient Chinese barbecued pork recipe several times and CS' two ingredient recipe last night (I left out the salt), and I wholeheartedly agree with CS: Lee Kum Kee’s Char Siu Sauce is just as good as homemade.

    Pork collar is not the best cut for char siew. There's a special cut called 不见天 (bu jian tian) in Chinese, or 'doesn't see the sky'. While fatty, pork collar doesn't contain the right kind of fat that's prized in char siew cooking.
    And looking from this video, it's a very basic char siew with nothing special about it, other than using sous vide. And calling it ultimate is seriously just white saviour syndrome.

    I live in South-East Asia and yes when you make the sauce from the marinade from scratch it is really at another level .
    I can also suggest to make much smaller pieces of meat (at least 2 or 3 times smaller ) it will improve the flavour as you will see the marinade going deeper in the meat . Here they usually cut 1 / 1.5 inches slices with the same thickness as in the video and you can really see the colouring of the marinade that went much deeper in the meat it is not just an outer corona .
    Fabulous dish .

    Not necessarily traditional, the best char siew ive had in Asia is a lot more fatty, the outside is coated with a sugary bqq sauce while cooking, so it's crispy on the outside from the sugar, extremely tender on the inside, the fatty parts just melts in your mouth. The glacé is super flavorful too.
