Supermarket versions of Chinese pork sadly tend to be pretty meh, not to mention high in calories and Points!  Our Sticky Chinese-Style BBQ Pork tastes so good that you’ll never believe it’s slimming friendly.

They make a great alternative to high calorie, fatty sausages and burgers and this Sticky Chinese-Style BBQ Pork is just 106 calories per portion – yes, really!!

We love this dish served with fried rice (our Fakeaway version of course!), or as part of a barbecue alongside a beautiful, fresh salad.

Do you need any special ingredients to make this Sticky Chinese-Style BBQ Pork?

This post contains affiliate links. Find out what this means.

We’ve used some Chinese store cupboard staples in this recipe like soy sauce, hoi sin, 5 spice and oyster sauce.  You should be able to find these ingredients in your local supermarket and, if you cook a lot of Chinese food like we do, they’re well worth the investment!

We used our Char-Broil Gas2Coal BBQ to cook these Chinese BBQ Pork Steaks.  We personally love the smokey flavour that cooking on charcoal gives the meat, but if you prefer to cook on gas then no worries as the Char-Broil Gas2Coal BBQ means that you get the best of both worlds. You can use it either with or without charcoal!

There are 103 calories per portion in this Sticky Chinese-Style BBQ Pork, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category. 

This Sticky Chinese-Style BBQ Pork is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers. 

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.

Step 1

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Remove 2 or 3 tablespoons of the marinade and set aside for basting the pork during cooking.

Step 2

Add the pork to the bowl and coat it well with the marinade.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with cling film or place in a food bag and refrigerate while you heat up the BBQ (you can make these up the day before to save time if you want).

Step 4

Spray both sides of the pork with low calorie cooking spray and cook on a hot BBQ for 2 minutes on each side. Turn the BBQ down to a medium heat (or move the pork to a slightly cooler part of the grill).

Step 5

Cook for 5 or 6 minutes on each side (basting with the reserved sauce halfway through cooking each side) or until the internal temperature reaches 75°c (170 °f).

Step 6

Serve with your favourite BBQ side dishes.

Oven Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°c.

Step 2

Stray an oven tray with low calorie cooking spray, place the pork on it and cook for 20 minutes – making sure to baste at the 10 minute mark.

Step 3

Depending on the thickness of your pork, it may need a little longer. Make sure the pork is cooked through before serving.
