Super Easy and Delicious Salted Egg Yolk Char Siu

Pork strips marinated overnight in a rich blend of seasonings, then roasted until glossy and caramelized. A surprise salted egg yolk hidden inside adds a savory, buttery twist to this barbecue classic.

    Prepare a piece of pork shoulder with a certain thickness, about 3-5 cm thick. Cut the meat into strips, and mix all the seasonings from the list except for honey evenly into the meat. Put it in a storage container and refrigerate to marinate overnight. If in a hurry, 2 hours or more will also work; the longer the time, the more flavorful it will be.
