Chinese Barbecued Pork

I got this recipe from Cooking Class Chinese Cookbook. This recipe tastes exactly like the pork in Chinese restaurants. My family loved it. I used it in my recipe for Recipe#186806. The meat was so tender and juicy. I baked mine for 45 minutes and didn't baste it at all, I was busy cooking other Chinese food.

Very easy and tasty. To those saying it's not authentic Chinese cuisine, of course it's not how the Chinese made it a hundred years ago. It's a modern take on a classic that uses ingredients many of us already have in the pantry. I looked at other recipes and they require specialized ingredients I don't normally stock. So, this saves me a shopping trip without compromising on taste and enjoyment.Reply

I am eating this right now. I made it exactly as stated except I didn't include the red food coloring. I marinated it overnight. It has an odd taste - can't decide what it is. It is very tender and moist, however. I am going to try putting some hot mustard on it to see if I can make it taste better. (The mustard didn't help.) I'll chop up the rest and put it into Fried Rice.Reply
