Char Siu...or something

[Uncle Sauce]

Not much to this but I always liked the cold BBQ pork served with hot mustard in the old style chinese food restaurants.

Char Siu - (From Allrecipes) literally means fork burn/roast-'Char' being fork (both noun and verb) and siu being burn/roast-after the traditional cooking method for the dish

Hence some confusion on my part of what I was really after. And I got wrapped around the axle a bit (Yes, it happens alot )...of course searching the internet only made me more confused.

Well, I started with marinating the pork for 48 hours in the Char Siu sauce packet (hence more confusion of Chinese vs. Hawaiian - notice the packet says "Taste of Hawaii") cut into halves and onto the pellet pooper for about an hour then changed my mind (on the cold version) and used it to top a rice/vegetable plate covered with sweet chili sauce.

Would have been great to add to the disco cook. I did use the pork leftovers cold with the hot chinese mustard - it was pretty darn good. Probably would be real good with a tenderloin. But I think it was exactly what I was looking for.
Well, hope this makes some sort of sense...Not many pic's but here it is/was.

Looks Great Unc!!

Mighty Tasty!

I made some of that one time, and it was Real Good, but I made my own Marinade.
Now I got all those ingredients that I'll probably never use, because I don't usually do those fancy things.

Love that dipped in the Chinese mustard and sesame seeds. You done good I say, cause my mouth is watering

Next time, try putting the leftovers and I tiny bit veggies into dumpling. Steam them until the dumpling is cooked. Oh my gosh! With multiple dipping sauces. There won't be any leftovers after that...

If I can find my old recipe I'll send it to you.

Pitrow - I think I could make a meal out of just that! I ran out of hot mustard on the leftovers...not sure why they come in small jars
