Quick 5-Ingredient Char Siu Sauce Recipe Will Be the Star of the Show

When I made Chef Hiroaki Mitsui's quarantine ramen recipe, my protein of choice was pork. To add flavor to the pork chops, they were marinated a few hours in this homemade char siu sauce. Amazing! They were the star of the dish. 

This versatile sauce is now in my lineup for roasted chicken, pork loin, pork chops, pulled pork sandwiches, shrimptofu and even as a sauce for fried rice and egg rolls. How will you use it?

Cuisine: Asian
Prep Time: 0 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes if using as sauce 
Total Time: 5 minutes if using as sauce

Servings: Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients

Here's how to make it:

  1. If using for a marinade, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Pour over your protein and allow to marinate for a few hours before cooking.
  2. If using as a sauce, combine all ingredients in a small pot and bring to a simmer. Serve warm as a dipping sauce.
