Char siu refers to a Cantonese inspired barbecue dish typically made with pork, though the versatile flavours of white miso, plum, orange, Five Spice and soy sauce used for the marinade pair well with almost any meat. In this dish, we're using char siu paste to add a sweet and salty depth of flavour to the clear broth.
