    For thosegiving CS grief for using a bottled sauce, their recipe page at https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/char-siu-tender-cantonese-style-barbecued-pork explains why: "We tend to mix up our own marinades in the ChefSteps kitchen, but we were such fans of the results we got with Lee Kum Kee’s Char Siu Sauce (available on Amazon) that we decided a little shortcut was in order. Keep a bottle of that delicious stuff on hand, and you will have a foolproof centerpiece dish that requires very little effort but will still be the star of the potluck, book club gathering, or tailgate. Stress-free and totally tasty? See, this is why we fell in love with the whole sous vide thing in the first place."

    I made ATK's 12 ingredient Chinese barbecued pork recipe several times and CS' two ingredient recipe last night (I left out the salt), and I wholeheartedly agree with CS: Lee Kum Kee’s Char Siu Sauce is just as good as homemade.

    Too many mistakes…
    Very thick piece of meat meaning the marinade didn’t go anywhere near the middle.
    And then grilling???? You never make contact with grill surface since the marinade is full of sugars and you end up with nasty burned meat

    So you add premade bottled sauce, sous vide it and grill it, and you call it the "ultimate" version? You slice it to the wrong thickness, you pronounce it wrong, and you don't get the important stuff right in cooking it. Hey look, white people making Asian food "ultimate" versions. Sit down, Grant, you're embarrassing yourself.

    Sorry, but this is not char siu. It also looks like you don't actually know what char siu is, otherwise you wouldn't have made this video like you knew what you were doing. Everything about this is wrong. The pronunciation of char siu is wrong, the way you've cooked it is wrong, and the way you're eating it is wrong. Don't appropriate Chinese culture for the sake of making a video.
