Chāshū (チャーシュー) is a Japanese adaptation of the famous Chinese barbecued pork dish called char siu (叉燒). We prepare the pork belly for chashu by rolling it into a log (or make the non-rolled version and skip rolling). Then, we braise it over low heat in a sauce seasoned with soy sauce, sake, and sugar.

In Japanese, we sometimes call chashu nibuta (煮豚), literally simmered/braised pork, as opposed to yakibuta (焼豚), which means barbecued pork. The Japanese enjoy chashu as a topping for ramen and other noodles, but also over steamed rice in a rice bowl dish called chashu don.
