A healthier low carb keto friendly char siu Chinese BBQ pork recipe that’s made without added sugar. It’s a much better option to the high carb take-out and is perfect for adding to fried cauliflower rice. My family likes to eat out regularly at a local Chinese restaurant. I always keep my meals plain with hot tea, sashimi, soup, and a salad.

These char siu burnt ends will smoke for an initial 3 to 3 1/2 hours until they reach an internal temperature of 195-203 degrees F.

Place the 3 pieces of pork butt into a suitable dish for marinating – glass or ceramic will prevent the transfer of the coloring to the dish.
