Introduction

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.

It should be noted all ingredients are considered, but most of the marinade is discarded before cooking.

    Would have loved to try this recipe but can't find hoisin sauce anywhere. Using a marinade I bought at the store. Going to look for another hoisin sauce at a different store. - 3/17/11
