These Chinese BBQ Pork Char Siu Dumplings are a delightful combination of savory and sweet flavors, with tender pieces of Char Siu pork wrapped in a soft and chewy dumpling skin. Perfect for dim sum or as a tasty snack!

Ingredients: 1 cup of Chinese BBQ pork Char Siu, finely chopped. 2 cups of all-purpose flour. 3/4 cup of water. 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper. 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, minced. 1/4 teaspoon of garlic, minced. 1/4 cup of green onions, chopped. 1/4 cup of water chestnuts, finely chopped.

Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and water to form a dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes. In another bowl, mix the Chinese BBQ pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, ginger, garlic, green onions, and water chestnuts to make the filling. Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into thin circles, about 3 inches in diameter. Place a spoonful of the Char Siu filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges to seal the dumplings. Repeat the process until all the dough and filling are used up. In a steamer, arrange the dumplings on parchment paper and steam them for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Serve the Chinese BBQ Pork Char Siu Dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

Savor the flavorful and mouthwatering Chinese Barbecue Pork, also called Char Siu Pork. With the help of step-by-step photos, this recipe will walk you through the process of making succulent, flavorful pork that can be served at any meal.

Ingredients: 1.5 lbs 680g pork shoulder or belly. Marinade:. - 3 tbsp hoisin sauce. - 2 tbsp soy sauce. - 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry. - 2 tbsp honey. - 1 tbsp oyster sauce. - 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder. - 1/2 tsp white pepper. - 3 cloves garlic, minced. - 1 tsp grated ginger. Red food coloring optional. 1 tbsp vegetable oil for basting.

Instructions: In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients and thoroughly mix. Slice the pork, if you'd like, into long strips or cubes. Transfer the pork pieces to a lidded container or a sizable zip-top bag. Make sure the pork is thoroughly coated by pouring the marinade over it. To get the classic red color, feel free to add a few drops of red food coloring optional. Refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight, after sealing the bag or container. Set the temperature of your oven or grill to 375F 190C. Leaving space between each piece, thread the marinated pork onto skewers or arrange it on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Use vegetable oil to coat the pork to enhance flavor and keep it from sticking. The pork should be grilled or roasted for 20 to 25 minutes, turning and basting with marinade occasionally, until it is cooked through and has taken on a caramelized, slightly charred look. Take it off the stove, give it a few minutes to rest, and then cut or serve as preferred.

Today I made Char Siu using my air fryer, and it turned out just as good as using the oven.

I used my homemade Chinese barbecue sauce to marinate the pork, then glazed it with maltose before air-frying. The result is juicy, glossy, and absolutely appetizing. 🤩🔥

I'm happy to share the recipe with you 👇

I used to make Char Siu in the oven, but this time, I used a nonstick pan on the stovetop, and it was a very satisfying experience. 

The reason is obvious: The frying process only takes about 10 minutes instead of baking, which takes much longer. Besides, cleaning the nonstick pan is much easier than cleaning the oven. This means I can make it nearly whenever I want without worrying about the messy work.
