The cha shao looks wonderful. Could you share or provide a link to the recipe you use?

 

Look for Andrea Nguyen char siu, in google you can easily find it (if in my house I use the cantonese spelling they put me at the door). I used her quantities, only difference is that I use 2 tablespoons of honey instead of 3 and I added 1 teaspoon salt. Also I’ve used in the past Whole Foods Hoisin sauce and I didn’t like it. Last 2 times I used San J hoisin sauce and much better flavor I found.  I used pork butt cut into 4 large pieces. Cooked at 375F convection for 20 minutes, turned, 20 minutes more. Than basted 3 times with some of the marinate, broiler low, turning pieces every 8 minutes.
