Day One :
using this Rx :
https://omnivorescookbook.com/air-fryer-char-siu-pork/
mise :
the hoisin is LeeKumKee , I prefer
Koon Chun to LKK , but LKK is what the chinese market near me had. interesting as they had a few
KC items. no matter
Meat :
from MarketBasket . they have BostonButt that's trimming into smaller hunks :
openen up . this is still one hunk of meat connected by the R portion
this was the meat ' as is ' from the 4 lbs pack. you can see where they removed the scaplula by butter-flying it
like a boned out leg of lamb. very fine looking meat.
trimmed it just a bit of hard fat and only a little grizel .:
this was a very nice punk of pork .
I found I had some ancient zip freezer bags , 1 qt. so I thought Id use them up :
distributed and bagged .
and ready for the refrig.
I chose to add 1 hoping Tbs of sugar , rather than 3 indicated in the Rx and I did not dd salt.
Ill add salt water slicing when I use the meat.
AF]ing tomorrow.
Im glad I made a little more sauce , s the Rx is for 2 lbs. didn't realize I had 4 lbs.
but all the meat is coated . I manage it a few times later today
during the Swift Bowl.
i must say , this sauce is very very very tasty . even w LKK.
I have a packet of HOH powder I was going to try after this :
but I doubt its going to be as tasty as this.
and next time , as the Rx suggest , Ill add some red food coloring.
red is always better.
