Chinese Pork? How to

Jail egger

One of the many cool recipes I tasted at the Northwest Eggfest was Chinese BBQ'ed pork made with a pork loin. Can anyone tell me how to get the recipe and cook it? You know with the "red stuff".

does that really make the red stuff?...no offense in questioning the knowledgable Bente

I used to make it all the time (25 years ago) and my old Chinese cookbook calls for Chinese Roasting salt, which I am 99% sure was salt + saltpeter.

Most of the recipes I see today call for red food coloring and many don't use anything.

If I really wanted the red color, I would probably use a little curing salt, which has sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite.

to be honest with you that was what i found and i have not made it.... but your question got me to looking to other recepies and most of them seem the like something similar to the one i posted... i look at several pictures on various web sites (i use to find other recepies) and i did not see any that are red.. now i am begining to wonder what the red stuff is on my pork fried rice.. but reading bobs response it made alot of sense.. if you have to have the "red look"....



BTW i am not that knowledgebale don't let me fool you

3. Do some horse trading

The red sauce is called Char Siu or Chinese Barbeque sauce. You might find it in an ethnic grocery or your regular store in with the Chinese foods. There are also recipes for it all over the web, but you may not get what you are looking for.

JE, I was there too, and that cook was very good. I believe he used a tenderloin and said he got the recipe from, http://www.uwajimaya.com/recipes/recipes.asp I asked him about his prep and he said he used red food coloring to get the color. It was very good, he got one of my tickets. Haven't gone to Uwajimaya site, but have been to the store, very impressive.
