This is a leaner version of those glistening strips of pork, called car su, displayed in shops throughout Chinatown. This tasty crunchy meat can be eaten hot or at room temperature. Serve leftovers on a bed of stir-fried vegetables.

This is a great side to serve with pork. We have it every New Years as blacked-eyed peas are for luck and collards are for wealth. You can open a pork loin an use this as a stuffing and put the rest in a casserole if you like, but we do it as a side dish. Enjoy!

Wonderful dish and is great with a side of brown rice. The prep time allows one hour for fish and marinade in refrigerator.

This is a family favorite for us in the summer. You can cut back on calories, fat and sodium by reducing the sauce to a small amount. I also did not know how to calculate a marinade so it's like you are eating all those ingredients, but you are not. Finally I usually get swordfish that is closer to 4 ounces. Note that the cooking time inclues the time it is in the marinade. Enjoy!
