Directions
- Add the Chinese five spice powder, dry sherry, soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce and oyster sauce to a medium bowl. Mix until everything is evenly blended.
- Set a small saucepan over medium heat, then pour in the sesame oil. When the oil is heated, scrape the Char Siu Sauce mixture into the pan and let it come to a simmer. Cook at a simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce is a bit thicker.
