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 or vegetarian protein. In this dish, we're using tofu to absorb the delicious flavours for a dish that's ready in less than 15 minutes.
