Woks of LIfe is my go-to for most of my childhood favorite Cantonese dishes that I grew up eating. I tried their char-siu recipe and it’s pretty good, but for whatever reason didn’t quite hit the spot of how I like my char siu. I’ve also tried the Serious Eats version and the same thing. Finally, I came upon this version by RecipeTin Eats that seems to hit the right spot for me, and as a plus it’s a bit simpler with less ingredients. This is now my go to whenever I get the country style pork ribs in my meat share.
RecipeTin Eats Char-Siu Recipe
I’ve had my parents try this, and they all think this is quite good too. If you let it broil briefly after it’s cooked (or 98% to what you want it to be) it gets a nice char on some of the parts to simulate that beautiful smokines with real BBQ. Just have to keep your eye on this because it goes from gentle bubbling to ON FIRE 
in like 15 seconds.
