Char Siu

All you need to enjoy Chinese BBQ pork is your June Oven, a few ingredients and a little patience--while you can get away with a 4-hour marinade, letting it go longer (up to 2 days) yields even better results. Cutting the pork into strips creates more surface area for the savory-sweet marinade to flavor the meat. Enjoy your char siu by itself, in steamed buns, in a stir fry with veggies or even as a topping for instant ramen.
