Char Siu–glazed Pork and Pineapple Buns
Char siu—Chinese-style barbecued pork—is popular throughout the Islands. We've used its sweet, tangy glaze on pork tenderloin and pineapple, and then tucked both into Hawaiian sweet rolls.

I made these sandwiches for a tropical-themed wedding shower and they were a HIT! My husband gave me a hard time beforehand about the fact that I was making so many (36 sandwiches for 12 people, along with tons of other food), but not one single sandwich was left at the end of the party! People were raving about them. My husband and I both loved them. I'd definitely make them again, exactly as written.
Great recipe. It was a hit at our luau. We doubled the recipe, made 48 sandwiches, but there was so much pork and pinapple left over. Followed the recipe to a T. Didn't need as much time on the grill as stated. Beautiful, and tasty!
This is delicious; we had it at a cocktail party on Friday night and it was so good we made it again for a dinner party Saturday night. Delicious and a perfect mix of the pork, the pineapple, the cilantro, the marinade. YUM!
I love garlic, but it's way too much. Next time I will cut the garlic in half. I ran out of the sweet rolls. The dish isn't really complete without them.
