叉燒醬 Chinese BBQ Pork Sauce (Char Siu)

It's true you can buy the Lee Kum Kee Char Siu sauce from the supermarket but honestly, I usually have all the ingredients I need to make it, so I just make it whenever I need.
I typically make it, then use it to marinate something and freeze it.

The color of your Char Siu will not be as bright as what you buy from stores. The only way to make it that bright color is to use food coloring which I refuse to do. But when you eat it, you can totally tell it's char siu. :)

Char Siu sauce can be use to make Char Siu or you can just use it to cook other items like spare ribs.
