Char Siu and Pork Fried Rice
Char Siu is an Asian style of Bar B Que usually made with pork put on skewers and then marinated and roasted over a fire. I cant say that we enjoyed eating this, because honestly it was not very good. the marinade is made from cane sugar, dry soy powder, garlic and onion flavors, when we first prepared it, it smelled like cool aide. I was hoping that cooking would take away that taste, but it did not work . I ended up making a quick reduction of soy sauce, sesame oil, balsamic vinegar and ground mustard to break up the sweetness and make it some what edible. I made pork fried rice to go with this and that turned out pretty good. to make this i used 2 and half cups of long grain rice, and made that according to directions on the bag. After the rice was done I put it in a large bowl and added a tablespoon of sesame oil, a table spoon of soy sauce, and a half tablespoon of garlic powder. Then I added a small package of ham cubes, two bunches of green onions finely chopped and a package of frozen peas.
After I mixed that all up I put it in my counter top griddle and let it reheat for about a minute or so, then I pushed all the rice to one side and cracked four eggs on the other and scrabbled them.
After the eggs were done a mixed them in to the rice and dinner was ready.
