Sticking to my guns when things got really, really hard. I'm proud of myself, which doesn't happen often.

If I tell you a really good online source for Asian ingredients will you share? I often use Cooking with Lau for Chinese/Cantonese dishes. Maangchi for Korean dishes.

Ohh, okay then... You convinced me
Thank you for the helpful link! We'll definitely check that out.

This is the Chef's recipe on her website...
CiCi Li - Cantonese Pork Char Siu

She shares a lot of her videos on FB too:

The only thing we did different is used lean Pork Loin rather than Pork Belly. And since it was on the small side (1/2 lb) Mom cooked it for 20 min / 20 min, rather than the 30/30.
Both sounded like too much cooking! But it was not overdone at all, rather perfect in fact. Just trust her recipe for sure!
