I'm not a very adventurous person when it comes to grilling and smoking meats, but I gave Chinese BBQ pork a try for the first time and it was amazing. Check out the Hot Thai Kitchen video in the link below.

Couple of notes.

I couldn't find red bean curd, but then again I didn't venture beyond HEB and Kroger. It honestly tasted outstanding without this. Next time I'll hit up the local Asian market and buy a jar. Personally, I think the key is the Chinese 5 Spice. Can't skip that.

I grilled pork shoulder and pork riblets. Wasn't a big fan of the riblets. The marinade and the glaze are a bit stout and there's just not enough meat on a riblet to handle the sweetness. Gonna try country ribs next time.%A0

Lastly, all of the leftovers that we ate the next day were just okay. Not a good idea to refrigerate overnight as the flavor just seems to vanish. I ended up making fried rice with it all which was decent.

If you're a fan of banh mi, this pork is most definitely ideal.

Char Siu is amazing

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it. I'll give it a try.

Is recommended you give Siu Yuk (chinese roasted pork belly) a try. Traditionally here in SE Asia you would generally have both at the same time. I actually prefer Siu Yuk over char siu. Also if you like char siu try to make home made char siu bao....amazing.

I may give this a try. I'll in Galveston for the next few days and Char Sui is on the menu for tomorrow night. Might as well throw some belly on the pit as well.

Thanks for the recommendation! My cholesterol levels thank you as well.

Chinese barbecue is incredible. All of it, any meat, any cut. Roasted or barbecue, it's all sooo good.
