Everything looks wonderful!
K-Girl, how do you make the red pork?
Kathleen, I've tried a few different ways, none of them the "traditional way from scratch"
edit> I forgot to add that this last go-around, as I use broiling the meat to get those charred edges, I brushed the Pork with just a little Honey, I saw a man in Hawaii doing that
I am sad..
Because you reminded me of how much I love Char Siu, I attempted to find my recipe, from the 70's, to enjoy it again.
The recipe is nowhere to be found. "Yet"

I made this recipe for last night's dinner and it was amazing: https://www.food.com/recipe/chinese-barbecued-pork-char-siu-cooks-illustrated-408646... I like to marinade the meat (not just Pork btw) for 24-48 hours, the longer the better IMHO anyways.

Maybe you'll like the one I posted above. I served it over rice with smashed cucumbers and peppers.I am sad..

.... snipped ...
When I left California, I let the let all of my cook books go to new homes. Wish I had kept just that one book.

Ross, do you remember the name of that cook book?
Not with today's brain slowing.
It was a book of Chinese regional cooking. I can't recall the author, either.
Up to that time, late 70's, I did grilling and the occasional breakfast. My mother gifted me with a Wok set and I took to Chinese cooking, with a passion. I found that cook book and it was on. My first wife was a wonderful cook so, until she passed, I stayed with Asian dishes, which she didn't do.
Hopefully, the author or name of the cook book will come to me and I will attempt to hunt it down again.

I searched for book of Chinese regional recipes 1970s
This jumped out at me. Vintage Chinese Cookbooks on Pinterest. Do any of those books look familiar?
