Char Sui Pork

Char sui pork in blue bowl with rice
Jump to Recipe

I found the char sui pork recipe on the Tesco Real Food website when searching for a new recipe for pork belly slices.   

Once the pork has been marinaded overnight, the end result is a delicious, rich and sticky Chinese glaze...the flavours infuse and then cooking is pretty quick.   A great dish to make when preparing a Chinese feast, or enjoy with boiled rice and greens.   I decided to use the remaining marinade to serve with the pork, rather than discarding it - I've added an extra instruction to simmer it while the pork is grilling.

Tip

  • This char sui pork recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
