What is "char siu"?

Char siu is a popular Chinese dish that features barbecued pork that has been marinated in a blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and Chinese five-spice powder. The pork is typically roasted on a spit or in an oven until it is tender and caramelized on the outside. The marinade gives the pork a sweet and savory flavor with a hint of smokiness. Char siu is often sliced into thin pieces and served as a main dish, or used as a filling for sandwiches, buns, or noodles.
