Chinese BBQ Pork

[sadistick]

So there is this little BBQ place near the market that we love to shop at, and we always end up buying at least 1/2 lb of BBQ pork once or twice a month (so cheap, about $4!)

I have had it on its own with some rice, I have also made BBQ Pork fried rice - I want to do something different with it, but am at a loss for ideas.

Help, eG!

Make a filling (stuffing) for savoury pastries (eg using steamed - as is char sui bao -, deepfried - spingroll wrappers - or baked - puff or phyllo.)

You can stir fry it with leafy vegetable or scrambled eggs. You can add it to your vegetable soup. You can even dice it and add it to your favorite pasta.

Make Banh Mi! That's a Vietnamese sandwich. You will need to make your own pickled vegetables, but that's easy--it's just carrot and daikon. The usual ingredients for banh mi, besides some kind of crunchy pickle, include sliced cukes, jalapenos, pate, cilantro, maggi sauce and mayo and whatever grilled or bbq'd meats suit your fancy. BBQ pork is a natural. I like it on a baguette or similar type of roll.

You can find a ton of recipes on line. I learned how to make these sandwiches when I got Andrea Nguyen's book Into the Vietnamese Kitchen. She may even have a banh mi recipe on her website, so you could look there.

I also use Chinese style bbq pork in home-made wonton soup or as a garnish for a cold noodle salad. You could even use it ito dress up an Asian-type slaw.

Why is Chinese bbq pork red? Is it an artificial color?

[MikeHartnett]

Yes. I think if you do it traditionally, there is a slight reddish color, but the bright red color you normally see is artificial.

Twice cooked Pork. What I always do with leftover BBQ of any kind and what you have is perfect.

Can anyone share a good recipe to make the Bar-B-Q roast pork?

Anyone have a recipe for appetizer spare ribs?

The type I am looking for is like the spare ribs I use to get in my NY-LI Chinese restaurant.

Here in Hawaii they do not make spare ribs that way, neither at the restaurants nor at home.

Nor do they make shrimp in lobster sauce the way I am use to getting it LOL

Don't get me wrong the Chinese cooking here is great I just miss these two dishes.
