Barbecue pork (chinese: char siu) is a popular roasted pork dish in the chinese cuisine. Usually, people will serve the barbecue pork with rice in most chinese restaurants.

I came to this television channel where Martin Yan (originated from the Yan Can Cook TV programme) has showed us his cooking talent, to produce a nice plate of barbecue pork. It looks easy to cook, but when a friend tried it, and say that this is not easy.
Ingredient List: a piece of pork (it depends on which part of pork that you prefer; some prefer pork joint, while some prefer pork belly, but i think pork fillet is just fine) LKK Hoisin sauce, sesame oil, 5 spice powder, sugar, salt, sweet vinegar, normal vinegar, soy sauce, honey, shiu hing rice wine, and some sliced cucumber.
So what you really need is 400 gram of pork (boneless). Martin recommended us to marinate the pork (overnight and leave it in the fridge) with the ingredient listed in the above (LKK hoisin sauce, sesame oil, 5 spice powder, salt, a little sweet vinegar, soy sauce, rice wine, and honey). According to him, cooking this dish is easy. To cook the barbecue pork, take the marinated boneless pork from the fridge (you may want to add in some LKK hoisin sauce and some soy sauce to make the marinated pork taste stronger), and bake it in the oven (temperature : 175 celcius for approximately 1.5 hours, or maybe less, so you have to spend some time walking to the kitchen to observe the colour of the pork from time to time). While waiting for the barbecue pork to be cooked, you may want to (1) boil some rice and (2) slice some cucumber (i think it is for decoration purpose). After slicing the cucumber, marinate (for an hour or so until the pork is ready) them with some normal vinegar, some sugar and salt, and soy sauce.

When the pork is ready, take it out from the oven, and slice it (it will look something like this). Decorate the dish with the marinated and sliced cucumber, and serve it with boiled rice. Do tell me how it taste after cooking it.
