Ingredients for Char Siu and Sushi

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Char Siu

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, five spice powder, and rice vinegar. Add the pork shoulder and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Char Siu

    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the marinated pork on a baking tray and roast for about 45 minutes, basting with the marinade every 15 minutes until caramelized and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and mix with a splash of rice vinegar.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sushi

    On a bamboo mat, lay a nori sheet. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice, leaving a border. Place thinly sliced cucumber, avocado, and any char siu on top. Roll tightly and slice into pieces.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve char siu with sesame seeds sprinkled on top, alongside sushi rolls with wasabi and pickled ginger.
