Name: Char Siu (Chinese BBQ Pork)
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 2 h 45 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients: 0.5 cup soy sauce; 0.333 cup honey; 0.333 cup ketchup; 0.333 cup brown sugar; 0.25 cup Chinese rice wine; 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce; 2 tablespoons red bean curd; 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder; 2 (1 pound) pork tenderloins

1 Gather all ingredients.

2 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 Meanwhile, slice each pork tenderloin lengthwise into 1 ½- to 2-inch-thick strips. Place pork strips in a large, resealable plastic bag.

4 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.

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

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

7 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 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.

9 Serve hot and enjoy!
