it's really not hard to make, you just need a few cubes of this stuff crushed up with a bit of juice, five spice, hoisin sauce and soy sauce (maybe + minced garlic, vinegar, chilli, etc etc but thats all you need)
mix in a ziplock bag (so you can get it touching all the meat), add some chops you cut off a pork shoulder or a pork loin, leave it a few days in the fridge, then grill or roast it, and baste it in a soy sauce & honey mix.

Char Siu is good to add to fried rice
You can look up some recipes and change them as much as you want, the key ingredients area couple cubes and some juice of pic related (cost me 90c at my local chinese place), which gives the red colour and has fermented bacteria which tenderises the meat (and it smells/tastes absolutely disgusting but does amazing things to the end product), hoisin sauce, 5 spice, and sugar (i use honey), the rest you can change as much as you want.
And make sure to do atleast 2 days marinade.

Pork shoulder is more forgiving and better really, but i generally do it with loin. Any cut of pork will work.
Then you just roast or grill it, and baste it with a dark soy + honey (or sugar) combination

That's how you make BBQ pork fried rice, which is a traditional thing.

make char siu
pic related is essential, and only like $1 at chinese groceries. It tenderises the meat and gives it the red colour. It's disgusting by itself.

mash up a couple cubes, add some of the brine, hoisin sauce, generous 5 spice, soy sauce, minced garlic, a little rice wine vinegar and sugar

marinade it for atleast 24 hours
grill or roast it and baste it with hot honey mixed with a little dark soy sauce

fermented red bean curd to make char siu

Char siu is really easy to make, and it's way better when it's fresh.
You just need fermented red bean curd for the marinade, which actually significantly changes the texture and tenderness of the pork, it's incredible.
