Pork minus the smoke

Happy birthday to your daughter, Dave. Herself says you had all the makings for mu shu pork. Just add hoisin sauce and chinese pancakes.

I'm available for adoption!

Family is fortunate to have YOU!!!

Hope a good time was had by all.

I get my char sui mix at World Market. I marinate over night and then put in the crock pot with about a 1/4 cup of marinate and a 1/4 cup of Coke. Half way through, I rearrange the meat in the crock pot. The meat is usually pretty tender at that point and just needs a little reverse sear to give it some color / marks.

No World Market by me although I've heard of them so I'll keep the store in mind for travel times. Interim, I'll just make my own (minus the red food dye; another quirk:D))but I'm sure the packet would come in handy when I'm missing an ingredient or if I'm cooking whilst camping. Thanks for the info and "food porn".

I had to google char sui mix to see what it was as I've never heard of it. I see it's basically Chinese bbq sauce; nice idea and great job as usual Dave.

Char sui...YUMMMMMMM! And the stir fried veggies so nice and crisp. Great presentation as well. Your DD is lucky person to have a Dad who makes her such a treat.

Do you make your own marinade or is it available in a bottle/jar?

Haven't made it with boneless ribs which is a BRILLIANT idea. I generally use pork shoulder AKA Boston butt which is easiest to find on my end.

Never thought to crock pot the meat and then grill. Probably as I can only grill outdoors during the summer :(.
Do you slow cook the meat in the marinade and does that replace an overnight marinating in the fridge?

I simulate indoor grilling by cutting the shoulder into 1" strips then place the meat on a rack over a half sheet or roasting pan. Roast in a 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Let the meat cool, thin slice it and into the FoodSaver it goes, ready for whatever and whenever.

HEY... My B/D is Nov. 14th.. That gives me time for me to get there and even help with the shopping..

OK, that was the last straw for me.

I AM moving to Sacramento. OMG all the good cooking you do.

Lucky family you have there! BTW, the stir fry looks just wonderful!
