    Street Barbecue in China

    We have most things.. You just can't always read the label.. No good having peanut allergies here!! It also means some fun surprises sometimes, like you thought you bought a bag of instant beef noodles but its actually chicken.. Over time you learn to recognise brands, pictures, and second...

    Making Cracklins

    I have normally made crackling as part of a pork roast in the oven. Make sure the skin is dry, and cut some grooves about 1" apart along the width of the roast. Rub the skin and fat with salt. Then roast on high heat for about 20 minutes, and then at a lower temp for something like 20...

    Jimmy Dean "fatty" clone recipes

    Your right about using meat to flavour food!! Sometimes when we have visitors who vegetarians it is almost impossible to order foord for them!! Especially if they have a religious views about eatingmeat like Pork and shellfish. Pork being THE most common meat in China!! As far as westerners...

    Jimmy Dean "fatty" clone recipes

    You're right, they have small pieces of meat to make it stretch, but historically there are also two other reasons, 1. it uses less fuel to cook small pieces, and 2. you only need one big knife in the kitchen to cut the meat, as opposed to 5 or 10 knifes on the table. So all of it comes down...

    Street Barbecue in China

    KeyWest - I thinking smoking is considered in China but they do it in a different way, and not sure yet what kind of meats they do it with. I heard a story from a friend that his wife (whom is from Central Chinese province of Sichuan - where the spicy food comes from) in her village they smoke...

    Street Barbecue in China

    KeyW, I work for a company that makes Beer coolers & softdrinks dispensers, and we have a factory in here in northern China about 2 hrs outside Beijing. Most of our coolers sell into Asia, so it seems the right place to have a factory! Life here for a foreigner is getting easier. This is...

    Jimmy Dean "fatty" clone recipes

    Interesting point about the being hungry again 2 hours after eating a chinese meal!! I wonder if it is due to MSG.. I had always figured it was due to the fact that in Chinese food they tend to use a lot of vegetables, and cut food down to smaller sizes and as a result it is easier to digest...

    Street Barbecue in China

    Hmm Chicken with teriyaki sounds good!! They do something similar here but with squid on a stick then cooked on a steel plate.. As for recipes, I am going to suggest one, but as I only have a cold smoker i haven't tried it smokingwise, but have made it plenty of times in the oven. It will...

    Street Barbecue in China

    I think that if a Chinese Person were to see one of the smoking devices that are regularly pictured on this forum most of them would remark, "It is bigger than my kitchen!!" Most houses/apartments here are quite small, with the kitchens being the smallest! In particular most kitchens don't have...

    Street Barbecue in China

    They have one shaker full of the spice mix, and they put it on everything.. Beef, fish, chicken wings, vegetables, bread, tofu, boiled eggs, just about anything you can imagine! Some local favourites include, tendons, cartiledge, and tripe!!

    Street Barbecue in China

    Absolutely!! The bars close in China when the last customer ROLLS out the door! Then considering the bbq crew work the late shift and they setup in the back alleys, you sit down there on the sidewalk with another bottle of beer, and a few lamb skewers!! I will tell my wife that in the name of...

    Street Barbecue in China

    We had a party over the weekend celebrating 10 years of the factory that I work for, and we had a barbecue. Thought I would share some photos of what street barbecue is like in China.. They tend to grill everything on a stick over charcoal. As a result the barbecues tend to be long and thin...

    A mission...

    Well here is how it went! After taking the pork out of the cure and rinsing and drying it I hung it in front of a fan for around 90 minutes.. (Should have been an hour, but had trouble getting the fire to catch!) Attachment 2773 When finally the fire was going ok, and the wood chips would be...

    A mission...

    Cheech - Thanks for the note, and guess what, my smoke box is of course made of galv!! I am familiar with the zinc vapour that comes of galv when welding it, and its effects (the factory where I work stopped welding zinc coated plate 4 years ago because of this). This is serious during welding...

    What else can be smoked with good flavour?

    Corn cobs.. thats a great idea, and just happen to have some lying around.. Will try that soon, maybe with a piece of chicken!! You have both given me a further idea, how about sunflower stems and the flowers after the seeds are taken off? Further more what about hazelnuts, walnuts, nuts or...

    What else can be smoked with good flavour?

    A mission...

    Thanks all for the words of encouragement! The logical next step was getting some meat and ready for a cure.. My wife went to the market today and got a piece of pork belly about 2.5 kilos, and I am lucky because it looks like a beautiful meaty piece of meat!! Luckily it includes the back end...

    A mission...

    I am on a mission.. A very important mission, and it could be dangerous.. Coz we're going hunting.. for Bacon!! I have been living in China for about 4 years now, and one thing I have always missed is good Bacon. You can get something like it here, full of water, kind of pinkish in color, and...
