    Pretty good char siu recipe though I'd have liked the marinade penetrating and sticking a little better, so would likely leave it in the whole night and possibly 24 hours, rather than the shorter end of the given time. I'd also likely double the marinade to really get good basting action to make it sticky. Still, the taste was on point.
