Char Siu
A sweet, red, barbecued pork that is popular in Cantonese Chinese cooking. Often made with pork shoulder, char siu is marinated in a combination of honey, five-spice powder, soy sauce, fermented tofu, hoisin sauce, and rice wine. Red food coloring and maltose give the pork its glazed, red appearance. The resulting pork is tender on the inside, with a caramelized outer coating. Char sui is often prepared as a filling inside bao (Chinese steamed buns, the classic dim sum dish), or served atop rice, ramen, or stir-fried noodles.
Other spellings of this dish include chashao, cha siu, char sui, or char siew.

I haven't made any fresh hummus recently, but when I came across Shiloh Jolie Pitt's recipe, I remembered how it's super easy to make. While you could buy a commercial variety from the grocery store aisle, there's a significant difference between the taste of store-bought hummus and the creamy homemade kind. To make the entire meze even better, take a few minutes to toast the pita chips in the oven — they'll come out warm and crispy. Like Shiloh suggests, it's easy to vary the flavor by adding sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, parsley, or anything else that suits your fancy. To get this delicious recipe, read more
