Master two of Cantonese cuisine’s most iconic roast meats using just one pork shoulder.

You’ll learn why Chinese roast meats are cooked low and slow before finishing over a high heat, how to create a simple homemade Char Siu marinade, why blanching pork skin makes all the difference to crackling, and how one cut of pork can become two incredible dishes.
