Deep-fried char siu: sweet roasted pork, fried
Instead of traditional barbecue meats, I’m a big fan of the triumvirate of Chinese BBQ: roast duck, roast pork, and char siu. They’re all very flavorful. Char siu, often marinaded with a bright red sauce, appears in those delicious buns (steamed or baked) that dominate the dim sum scene. I recently learned about a new way to cook them: deep-fried. Where has this dish been all my life? Move over state fair fried food (fried avocado, deep-fried Twinkies, fried Coca-Cola…), there’s a new player in town.
Fried Coca-Cola??? I always wondered about the red meat in steamed buns. Thanks!
Isn’t the Coca-Cola crazy? Glad I educated you about the meat in steamed buns :)
