bosco Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Today, I found a good deal on some pork tenderloins and decided that I may as well try for a dish for this months challenge. I went down to the local Chinese Supermarket for the first time and I was blown away. I was hoping to find Char Siu marinade that I found on amazon from Hawaii. It was 18.00 a pack shipped to my house, or at the local Chinese Supermarket 1.80 a pack. I grabbed 5 packages and some other goodies and headed home. I have always wanted to try and make this, as Char Siu pork is one of my favourites when I eat Chinese Food. Mixed the marinade and off into the bag it went. This has a beat powder and it is a powerful dye, my hands may be pink I let this marinade for 6 hours in the fridge. It did a number to the pork. I decided to try my lodge smoking pot today for the first time, and I must say that I was most impressed with the blue smoke and aroma that was generated from this pot. I will use this more often now I removed the tenderloins from the marinade and hit them with a liberal coating of Lanes BBQ Q-NAMI rub. This stuff is the real deal. It has great flavour. Onto the pit at 350 direct they went The Char Siu marinade created almost a shell coating. Very awesome colour when cooked Anyways, I cooked them until an IT of 145 and pulled them and let them rest. They were dripping with moisture thanks to the Komodo Kamado! I thin sliced one and wrapped the other one for tomorrow I picked up my favourite fried rice and sweet and sour sauce to complete the dish tonight. I have to say, the flavour on this tenderloin was amazing. It was sweet, and the Lanes added a little hit of spice. I can't wait to make this again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) I have become a junkie for Q-Nami! I use it on just about everything now - shrimp, veggies, etc. Gonna go on a mission to find your Char Sui marinade. It might have to make an appearance at this Summer's Pink Flamingo party! Amazon USA has it for like $0.40 a pack, but $4.99 shipping. Or you can go PRIME for a 4 pack for $12. https://smile.amazon.com/Natural-Chinese-Barbecue-Seasoning-2-5oz/dp/B00YK05CMW Edited July 14, 2016 by tony b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanes BBQ rubs are the real deal Thanks, Bro. Found it on Amazon. Will check the local Asian markets, too. Used their Ancho Espresso & Brisket rubs on a sirloin last night. Planning on a mix of Sweet Heat & Signature rubs on some righteous Iowa pork chops this Sunday. Q-Nami shrimp skewers on Friday night as an app before Korean BBQ ribs. Lane's is one my "go to's" for pre-made rubs, up there with Dizzy Pig, Sucklebusters, and Plowboys! Edited July 14, 2016 by tony b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I just picked up Lanes white sauce and bbq sauce, both really good products too. If you have a coffee grinder, grind up the sweet heat and signature into a powder. Game changer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Looks good. I've done Char Siu before but didn't have that marinade. Sure gives it a nice vibrant color. Reef's Bistro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 So, my marinade arrived yesterday from Amazon and I was ready with a pack of "country style" pork ribs. Mixed up the marinade and in went the ribs last night for an overnight marinade. First off, this sh!t is seriously red! (Note: it's been over 100F with the heat index here for days! So, the cocktail of choice for Buzz - on the tumbler, is Gin & Tonic. The Clearheart Gin is from our local distillery - Cedar Ridge.) Onto the KK with smoking pot of maple and cherry woods. Cook is direct @ 325F on the main grate. The local corn has started to come in. Gotta hit that! Done. With this oppressive heat, even the bread gets tossed onto the KK so I don't have to heat up the house! Plated, with some Ginger Coconut Curry Rice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
