First off, big shout out to Mike from Oakridge for trusting the BBQ Brethren to test out his latest creation, Saigon 21. Tried it on some some Pork Belly today.

Cut up into chunks, added some rub and into the fridge for about an hour.

Skewered up, then onto the Big Joe.

Definite taste of SE Asia. My palate isn't as good as it once was, but so far, I wouldn't change a thing about it. Next up, some bo luc lac...
 
Looks great. What kind of cook time, 3 or more hours?

:becky: :loco: 25 minutes. :shocked: :clap2:

Pulled off when they hit around 140, just before it would have started getting tough. One of the skewers was over the hotter part of the grill, so those chunks started getting a little chewy.

Kind of followed this recipe more or less. Instead of adding the lemongrass & cinnamon to the simple syrup, I replaced them with a tsp of Saigon 21. Then instead of marinating the pork in the sauce, dusted with Saigon 21 and into the fridge it went.
 
Great idea for your test run! Those skewers look excellent.
 
I would feel privileged to eat that, it looks wonderfull
 
Andy, you really knocked it out of the park on this one! Spectacular in every way - I want to give this a try with Saigon 21 too!
