Title: CHA SHU (BARBECUED PORK STRIPS)
Categories: Pork, Barbeque
Yield: 6 Servings

2 lb Boneless pork butt

-------------------------MARINADE-------------------------
2 tb Chicken stock
2 tb Dark soy sauce
1 tb Soybean condiment
(mein see*)
1 Lrg. clove garlic, crushed
1 tb Chinese rice wine or
-dry sherry
1 1/2 tb Honey
3/4 ts Salt
2 tb Hoisin sauce
Few drops of red
-food coloring

Cut the pork into long strips 1 1/2 to 2 inches
square. Mix all for the marinade and marinate the meat
for 3 hrs., unrefrigerated, or 6 hrs. in the
refrigerator. Turn the strips every hour or so.

Preheat the oven to 350^. Place a large cake pan half
filled with water on the lowest shelf of your oven.
This will catch drips from the meat and prevent
smoking. Place the meat strips directly on an oven
rack and put in the top position of the oven. Be sure
that all of the meat is over the dripping pan. Roast
for 45 minutes without disturbing the meat. Then,
turn the heat up to 450^ and roast for an additional
15 minutes or until the pork strips are crisp and a
rich brown color. Slice the meat and serve it hot or
cold... or use in other dishes as directed.

*Mein See: The remains of the process of making soy
sauce. Very rich soybean condiment used in many
Chinese dishes. Can be found in Oriental markets under
this name or soybean jam or condiment. Refrigerate
after opening.
