Char Siu Rice (Simplified Chinese: 叉烧饭; Traditional Chinese: 叉燒飯; Pinyin: Chāshāo fàn; Cantonese: chā sīu faahn) is steamed rice topped with sliced Char Siu (Cantonese barbecue pork) and usually a spoon of the roast's glaze or soy—everyday Siu Mei meal food in Guangdong and Hong Kong, distinct from the bun form Char Siu Bao.
Characteristics
