pork tenderloin char siu

[bosco0633]

Today, I found a good deal on some pork tenderloins. I went down to the local Chinese Supermarket for the first time and I was blown away. I was hoping to find Char Siu marinade that I found on amazon from Hawaii. It was 18.00 a pack shipped to my house, or at the local Chinese Supermarket 1.80 a pack. I grabbed 5 packages and some other goodies and headed home.

I have always wanted to try and make this, as Char Siu pork is one of my favourites when I eat Chinese Food.

Mixed the marinade and off into the bag it went. This has a beat powder and it is a powerful dye, my hands may be pink

I let this marinade for 6 hours in the fridge. It did a number to the pork.

I decided to try my lodge smoking pot today for the first time, and I must say that I was most impressed with the blue smoke and aroma that was generated from this pot. I will use this more often now

I removed the tenderloins from the marinade and hit them with a liberal coating of Lanes BBQ Q-NAMI rub. This stuff is the real deal. It has great flavour.

Onto the pit at 350 direct they went

The Char Siu marinade created almost a shell coating. Very awesome colour when cooked

Anyways, I cooked them until an IT of 145 and pulled them and let them rest. They were dripping with moisture thanks to the Komodo Kamado!

I thin sliced one and wrapped the other one for tomorrow

I picked up my favourite fried rice and sweet and sour sauce to complete the dish tonight.

I have to say, the flavour on this tenderloin was amazing. It was sweet, and the Lanes added a little hit of spice. I can't wait to make this again.

Looks great. I've used that same marinade and like it. I've only brined it for a couple of hours though and wished for a stronger flavor, I'll try the 6 hours next time.

Ok, so I have several Asian markets nearby and I buy a lot of produce there plus seasonings, but never thought to buy char Sui seasoning. Yup, on the menu for next week.
Looks great.

Awesome cook,and awesome pics! I'm not sure that I've ever had that type of Chinese BBQ seasoning, unless it's similar to the red ribs that are at many Chinese restaurants (then I have). What's the Hawaii connection?

By the way, that Kamodo really got my attention. Is that actual tile work on that thing? Either way, it's a very nice looking cooker.

this is a Komodo Kamado and it is all tiled on the outside. I have two of them and love them.

Looks excellent, i've never seen char siu done with loin in a Chinese shop, i would guess that they usually use pork shoulder cut into 3/4 inch wide slices, would that be correct?

 

[Decoy205]

It's a beautiful plate of pork! Well done!

 

[GrassFed]

Nice ! Made my stomach growl !

I am assuming your putting wood chunks in the lodge smoking pot and hot coals around it to get your smoke.?. I ask because I have never seen a cast iron pot down in the coals that didn't have biscuits in it. lol At any rate, it looks like it worked like a champ. Great lookin food !

Thanks so much for the post.. I read it this morning. So on my way home from work just now I passed an Asian market. Stopped in and they had the same marinade mix for 1.99. Bought the last 6 packs they had on the shelf. I can not wait to try it.
