*not* paleo pork char siu
Arriving in my inbox just in time for Culinary Quest/China was this Paleo recipe. Great! Except I don't have some of the ingredients so I unPaleo'd it. Doing a some research, I found this: "One of our favorite things about living in NYC is our proximity to one of the best Chinatowns in North America. Where else can you find perfect soup dumplings, bao stuffed with everything imaginable and lacquered, sticky, Chinese-style roasted meats. One of our favorites of those meats will always, always be char siu pork. This barbecued Chinese pork is best friends with rice..." I totally agree.
