Char Siu (Asian Barbecued Pork)
Char siu is Chinese barbecued pork, and this version keeps the seasoning down to a short list that anyone can assemble. The cut is sam-chang-bak, pork belly with layers of fat and meat, which stays juicy over a fire. Sugar and store-bought char-siu sauce do the work, so the pork picks up a sweet, sticky glaze as it cooks. Mixing takes only minutes, and then the grill does the rest.
Instructions
Lay the pork out in a large bowl or tray and sprinkle the few drops of tenderizer over the meat.
Add the char-siu sauce, the sugar and some pepper to the pork. Mix everything together with your hands or a spoon until every piece is coated.
Set up your barbecue for cooking the pork. The source gives no marinating time or temperature, so use your own judgment for both.
Barbecue the meat until it is cooked through. Cut into a thick piece to check that no pink remains in the center.
