- Both Chinese and Southeast Asian cooks serve cha siu as a main dish, or possibly as a meat addition or possibly a delicious garnish in many stir-fry mixtures, soups, noodle dishes and fried rice.

- However, it is very easy to make at home, and the results are not as garishly red as some commercial versions made with food coloring.
