Char Siu is a traditional Cantonese marinade and glaze for roasted meats - most commonly using pork, but sometimes duck. Char Siu is flavoured with Chinese five spice, Shaoxing wine, hoisin, white pepper and sugar or molasses. Good Char Siu has a lovely depth of flavour with a sweet and salty contrast that works brilliantly with fattier cuts of pork like shoulder or belly.
Lee Kum Kee Char Siu sauce is a great ready-made product that will give you brilliant results. Combine 4 parts Char Siu with 3 parts oyster sauce and hoisin sauce, a tablespoon of Shaoxing wine and a teaspoon sesame oil and marinade your pork belly strips for at least 2 hours, overnight is best, then roast at 190°C or BBQ for 20 minutes, turn and then cook for a further 10 minutes. Brush with a little honey to glaze at the end.

I was looking for a specific item that was hard to find, and Somerset Foodie stocked it, and so much more! Great find, will be back!
The experience of a Foodie discussion with Ben about how to use his distinctive ingredients is something I really value about dropping in at Somerset Foodies.
Service is excellent, the products are great quality and speedy delivery. I will definitely be shopping with Somerset foodie again
Best chicken stock EVER!
They are absolutely delicious and Ben recommends having them with his mayonnaise mixed with his Chipotle sauce, which makes them irresistible.
