Roasted pork belly also known as Chinese BBQ pork is a famous dish in the southern part of China especially in Guangdong province.

In Chinese, BBQ pork refers to char Siu or Char siew. Basically the pork is marinated in honey, oyster sauce and hoisin sauce or char siu sauce. Pork belly, tenderloin and pork butt can all be used in Char Siu recipes. However they contain different amounts of fat, thus providing different tastes.
