Method

Use Char Siu seasoning to marinate meat (or tofu!) for grilling, roasting, or slow cooking. This product was developed with inspiration from Chinese roasted pork fragrant, colourful, and uniquely mental oriental.

Apply Char Siu seasoning rub to the moist meat surface at least one hour prior to cooking and allow it to soak in. Apply an even coating, use at approximately 3-6% meat weight, cook away from direct heat where possible to avoid over-charring.
