Etymology

From Chinese 叉焼(チャーシャオ) (chāshāo). The Japanese version is typically braised in soy sauce and mirin rather than roasted with a sweet glaze as in Chinese cooking.

Usage

In Japan, チャーシュー most commonly refers to pork slices served on ramen. Many ramen shops offer extra チャーシュー as a topping. It is also served over rice as チャーシュー丼(どん).
