I used this sauce to make char siu chicken thighs in the air fryer for a quick dinner, and it was honestly so easy. I just marinated the chicken for a while, then put it in the air fryer until the outside got a little caramelized. This sauce makes the chicken taste sweet, savory, and flavorful. It’s great for busy days when I still want something that's easy to make bur tasty.

The barbecued pork was dry and hard, as if it had been frozen for a long time. The braised chicken was also dry and woody, without any moisture. It felt like it had been frozen for a long time and was inedible. I will not buy it again next time.
weee.8023956
this is pretty good. cheap also. easy to heat up and eat with whatever
Jesse
Before purchasing, I thought it was a little expensive, but when I received it, I was convinced of the price. The plastic container is packed with plenty of it, so it feels like a good deal. There is almost no fat, so it feels more like roast pork than char siu. I enjoy putting it on ramen, fried rice, and stir-fried vegetables.

Grandma loved this sausage and went to the supermarket to buy more after she finished it. She bought the wrong one, and it turned out to be spicy. Shopping here is convenient. The Chinese signage is very clear. It's very convenient for the elderly. Grandma likes to stir-fry snow peas. Grandpa likes to make clay pot rice. This sausage is delicious and fragrant.
