Question 1

What is Chinese BBQ sauce made of?

Accepted Answer

Chinese BBQ sauce, or Char Siu sauce, is a thick, sweet, and savory glaze. It is primarily made from a base of hoisin sauce and soy sauce, seasoned with honey, garlic, and Chinese five spice powder to create its signature umami profile.

Question 2

How does Chinese BBQ sauce differ from American BBQ sauce?

Accepted Answer

While both are used for grilling, Chinese BBQ sauce is typically sweeter and more aromatic due to ingredients like honey and five-spice. American BBQ sauce often relies on a tomato or vinegar base with a smoky or tangy profile.

Question 3

Yes, Char Siu sauce is the most common type of Chinese BBQ sauce. It is specifically designed for making Cantonese-style roasted pork, providing that iconic sticky, reddish, and sweet-savory finish.

Question 4

What are the best ways to use Chinese BBQ sauce in cooking?

Accepted Answer

Beyond the classic Char Siu pork, you can use it as a marinade for ribs, chicken wings, or even as a stir-fry glaze for vegetables. It also works great as a dipping sauce for appetizers like spring rolls.
