chinese bbq pork

who doesn't love this stuff? who doesn't feel guilty taking the last piece at a party? this recipe allows you to eat it until hearts content...maybe even share some. it may seem a process to make but it is quite simple and will yield pleasurable results for all your hard work.

Step 1 - Marinade
Combine the following and marinate your meat in a gallon ziplock in the fridge for 12-48 hours.

1/4 C brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp Hoisin sauce
3/4 tsp chinese 5-spice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/2 C white wine
2 Tbsp soy sauce
5-6 drops red food coloring (optional)
2 1/2lb pork loin, cut into 2x2x7in strips

Step 2 - BBQ
(I use a Weber charcoal grill & charcoal chimney)
Prepare coals until very hot & ready - approx 20min. Divide coals to each side of the grill. Set meat on rack, down the center of the grill, but not directly over any of the coals. Close the lid and allow coals to burn out - approx 1hr. Turn meat ONCE (lifting lid only once) at the 30min mark. At this time, I also close all grill vents.

After meat has slow-cooked for a total of 1 hour, remove from grill and let chill in the fridge.

Step 3 - Eat
Serve with hot chinese mustard, ketchup and sesame seeds.
