Does anyone have a recipe for Red Cooked pork? ?

Question

kind of like the BBQ pork Chinese restaurants use in fried rice.

Answer 1

I make this all time..but I don't go through the trouble of preparing it by scratch. To many ingredients to purchase.Go to your local Asian market and find a Char Siu marinade. Noh of Hawaii makes one. Marinade the meat in plastic bag at least 8 hrs or overnight, then grill or broil. It's delicious.

Answer 2

I think they use a prepared rubbing stuff?...either dry or in paste form from a catering sized jar?...but,be careful the chinese use a lot of sugar in their meat recipes!...and eat too much sugar?...you may have to change youre avatar to 'wide screen'...?...
