Char siu swagger in a shaker
This is the one that turns a backyard cook into a Chinatown detour. Sweet, savoury and deeply complex, Asian Spice is Smokes' fusion showstopper — think char siu shaking hands with Chinese five-spice, then going back for a second round. Bold, a little cheeky, and unlike anything else on your rub shelf.
The flavour
Up front it's sweet and glossy, all molasses and toasted spice. The middle builds five-spice warmth — anise, clove, that unmistakable char siu hum — before a genuine chilli kick lands on the finish. Layered, moreish and just about impossible to stop licking off your fingers between ribs.
How to cook with it
- Rub hard into pork ribs or pork belly, then low-and-slow until sticky and lacquered
- Toss through a hot wok stir-fry for instant char siu depth
- Season chicken wings before the grill, then hit them again fresh off the heat
- Coat a pork scotch or shoulder for roast pork with a serious edge
In the jar
A medium grind flecked dark with spice and caramel, free-flowing and quick to cling to oiled meat. Pop the lid and it's pure char siu perfume — sweet, spiced and savoury all at once. Heat sits at a confident 5/10.
