Name: Cantonese Barbecue Pork

Longsuffering, forbearing patience is to be the Christian’s reflection of the character of God. It is part of God’s character to be slow to anger and quick to be merciful. Part of the incomprehensibility of God in terms of my own relationship with Him is this: I cannot fathom how a holy God has been able to put up with me marring His creation to the degree I have for three score and five years. For me to live another day requires a continuation of God’s gracious patience with my sin… It becomes even more difficult to fathom when we see a sinless Being being more patient with sinful beings that sinful beings are with each other.

INSTRUCTIONS

Think of these sweet, glazed strips of roast pork as the ham of Asia.
Both Chinese and Southeast Asian cooks serve cha siu as a main dish,
or as a meat addition or a delicious garnish in many stir-fry
mixtures, soups, noodle dishes and fried rice.  Most Chinese cooks
purchase their cha siu already prepared at a roasting shop
(delicatessen). However, it is very easy to make at home, and the
results are not as garishly red as some commercial versions made with
food coloring.
Remove and discard the excess fat from the pork.  Cut pork lengthwise
(with the grain) into 2-inch wide strips 5 to 6 inches long. Put into
a large bowl.
Combine soy sauces, sugar, honey, hoisin, ginger, wine and salt. Pour
over meat and rub it in well.  Cover and marinate in the refrigerator
at least overnight or for up to 3 days, turning several times.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Place the pork strips on a broiler pan lined with foil.  Roast for 30
minutes, turning once halfway through.  Increase the heat to 425F and
roast for 10 minutes longer.  Let cool before slicing.
To serve, cut across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.  Serve with
mustard and sesame seeds for dipping.
  MUSTARD DIP:
Mix together 2 tablespoons Colman's mustard, 2 tablespoons water,
pinch of salt, pinch of sugar and a few drops of oil.
