Air Fryer Char Siu — Chinese BBQ Pork

Aunty Mei Lin's beloved char siu pork adapted for the air fryer — caramelised glaze, tender inside, slightly charred at the edges. The marinade has all the classics: hoisin, oyster sauce, honey, five-spice, and Shaoxing wine. Easier than the oven version and much faster.

🥘 Ingredients

• Pork shoulder or neck (char siu cut), hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, honey, light and dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, five-spice powder, garlic, red food colouring (optional). Marinate overnight for deepest flavour. The air fryer caramelises the glaze beautifully at 200°C.
