Roast Red Pork (Char Siu)

Lobo Brand Seasoning Packet, Thailand.
This is Chinese in origin, but adapted to Thai cooking. This recipe is from a seasoning packet, as many westerners seem to be cautious with using these. This is straight forward and easy. And keep in mind, the Lobo brand packet has two packets inside for making this dish twice, cost savings right there. This packet is available in the US at most Asian markets. This is a very nice, mild flavor, the red is not from chili powder.

Instructions
 

  • Cut the loins into 1 inch thick strips about 6 to 8 inches long.
  • Mix 1 packet of seasoning in the ½ cup water in a shallow bowl, then add the pork loin in a single layer, turn the loins every 15 minutes or so. Marinate for 2-3 hours.
  • This is the package I use, excellent quality, Lobo brand.
  • Heat a large non stick pan on low heat, add the loin strips in a single layer, cover and cook for 5 minutes, turn over, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook turning occasionally until tender, about 5-10 minutes more.
  • Transfer to a plate.
