The Juiciest, Most Tender Char Siu Ever!




Any list of must-try foods in Hong Kong has to include Traditional Chinese BBQ or Char siu. Char siu is a culinary tradition dating back to the Upper Paleolithic era! Maybe you’d love to grill Scan's flower-fed Omega 3 pork chops on the beach? Or would you rather have the convenience of a bbq pit near to public transport? Perhaps you prefer your BBQ prepared and cooked in an established restaurant, like FINDS, Hong Kong's first & finest Nordic restaurant? Whatever your personal preference, Hong Kong has the BBQ spot for you, as well as your friends and family to enjoy tender and succulent flower-fed Omega 3 pork from Scan Farms.

Cha Siu cooked on a charcoal grill is divine! The meat is beautifully charred with a shiny glaze. You can smell the wonderful smoky aroma from afar. Traditionally long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed over a fire. But the kebab style BBQ is likely the best choice for your summer grilling party. It cooks very quickly and is addictively tasty especially when using Scans flower-fed Omega 3 pork. The high quality omega-3 fat makes it quick to prepare and since it stays juicy and tender longer, cooking time is less critical.
A basic recipe would include creating the marinade(five-spice powder is a must!), then using ⅔ of it to marinate your skewered pork overnight- then placing on a prepared charcoal grill over direct heat and cook until nicely charred, about 5 minutes per side. Brush glaze on the meat. Move the meat to the indirectly heated side, cover the grill, and allow to cook. Check on the meat every 5 minutes and brush with glaze. Cook until a thermometer inserted into the center of your pork reaches an internal temperature of between 75° and 80°C to ensure that the fat has fully melted and gives a good mouth-feel.

The consistent quality of Scan's pork means that the best results are always attainable, for each and every meal. Hong Kong style BBQ is a timeless tradition to be shared and enjoyed by all. Some people claim that the summertime is the only time to BBQ, but we’ve found that in Hong Kong- it's always the right time to BBQ!
