While cleaning out my cabinet, I came across a packet of NOH Chinese Barbecue Seasoning Mix. It must have been at least a couple years old, as it was left by an old roommate who used these seasoning packets a lot. But I hadn’t had char-sui in a while, so I figured why not make it? The directions on the packet looked easy enough:

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. NOH Chinese Barbecue Seasoning Mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/2 lbs. pork or poultry (pork butt, ribs, chicken, duck, turkey, etc.)

Directions:

1. Combine contents of package with 1/2 cup water. Mix thoroughly.
2. Cut 1 1/2 lbs. of pork into 2 inch by 2 inch by 4 inch pieces.
3. Marinate in sauce for 2 to 4 hours or overnight for best results.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Place pork on a rack in a roasting pan and cook for 20 minutes.
6. Turn meat and cook 20 minutes longer or until done. Baste occasionally with marinade.

Boneless Pork Ribs were on sale at Safeway, so I went with those. I marinated it overnight, and then cooked the next morning around noon. They turned out pretty good! They were a bit dry, I think because I used the leaner boneless ribs. Need to use pork butt next time as suggested on the package Here’s a picture of the final product:
