Chinese Five-spice Powder

Char Siu is a Cantonese style of barbecued pork known for its distinctive red glaze and sweet-savory flavor. It is a popular dish in southern China and overseas Chinatowns, often served as a main dish or used as a flavorful ingredient in other dishes. The signature taste comes from a marinade of honey, five-spice powder, hoisin sauce, and fermented red bean curd.
