Char siu sauce is very versatile and can be used to marinate meats for BBQ, as a complimenting sauce to make other recipes or even as a dipping sauce.

Some may queried the authencity of this recipe as in traditional recipes, maltose syrup, hoisin sauce and red beancurd are sometimes used. However, these ingredients are not easily available in many European countries, especially if you do not live close to a chinese supermarket. Of course, you can still order them online but you will pay for the heavy delivery charges for one or two items ordered.

The question here is: by substituting these ingredients with easy obtainable ones, is the authencity of this 'char siu' sauce lacking or does it taste just as good? I hope that you will give this recipe a try to find out before making any quick assumptions.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Shaoxing wine
1 Tbsp Light soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp Oyster sauce
1/2 tsp Dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp Five spice powder
1/4 tsp White pepper
4 1/2 Tbsps Sugar

Notes: ln colder climate countries, the honey is quite thick and l do not want to water down the sauce, therefore it is easier to dissolve the sugar with a gentle heat. l use the microwave for quickness (30 secs-1min depending on watts) or you can do this on the stove top. This will gives the char siu sauce a better consistency if you are marinating or basting meats with it. *This step may not be required if you live in a warm climate country.
