@liuzhouI'm not Asian, I can't determine what makes it Asian or not Asian. It was in the name of the title of the recipe. Perhaps it is because it has a few Asian ingredients in it, like 5 spice powder, hoisin and soy sauces and ginger.
In competition BBQ judging, rules say that there should be some "tug" in the bite. Meat that falls off the bone is considered over cooked. That is a competition rule. Competition participants seldom cook for friends and family the same way for them as they cook for judges. Competition BBQ is judged by a single bite (and there are points given for things other than taste. They can even be disqualified for things that have nothing to do with taste such as a garnish that isn't green. it is done in an attempt to make the playing ground as even as possible but that really isn't possible. It is one reason I have no interest in ever competing against anyone else in a contest.
