I thot buying char siew is so expensive so I had wanted to try making some on my own. I didn't really follow any specific recipe but marinating char siew is basically quite simple and the recipe is not very difficult from one to the other.
I added some oyster sauce, light soya sauce, dark soya sauce, sugar, pepper, sesame oil, chinese cooking wine, some red colouring and a few drops of fish sauce. Marinated it overnight and I grilled it until they are cooked. In total the cooking should be about 30 mins or there about. I also brushed it with the marinate several times in between cooking time to keep the meat moist. Here is how it looks.

Hi hugbear,
Thanks for the reply & the link.

Ur CharSiew look good, Lee :)
Can Share the recipe, pls :)
Delicious....shoik!!!
Hi Diane, sorry missed your post. I do not have a fixed recipe. I did this by agaration which I have listed in my post. If you need more info, you can ask me.
wu hua rou is Chinese and means "5-flower pork" Incidentally, this was Mao Zedong's favourite meal.
You can try adding some Five Spices powder and Malt sugar. My version require only the above plus MSG, Salt and pepper, Chinese cooking wine and red colouring.Of course not forgetting the Wu Hua Rou.
holistic pets, I have not tried using 5-spice powder for CS. This is interesting.
