Welcome. I have a friend who sometimes leaves youtube just playing whatever the next video is. We went from Chinese Cooking Demystified (excellent channel) talking about, I don't know what, to Made With Lau explaining how to make a correct lo mein, I think. Daddy Lau was really insistent about how you have to toss the noodles or something. It was so authentic and weird.

The beef & broccoli episode is awesome. Everyone admits they don't really love the broccoli part. Daddy Lau says he likes it better with chinese broccoli.

I've done a sous vide adaptation of his char siu a few times and it has always been a big hit. Winco supermarket sells a "large carnita pack" of random good fatty pork chunks that is an outstanding deal though the pieces are hardly uniform in size which would complicate a smoker or pellet grill cook but was perfectly fine for super slow cooking the pork in the marinade, and then i glazed it in a hot oven.

Some day soon i need to try a smoked version in my pellet grill, probably with strips of pork shoulder. It occurred to me that if i got one of the rack setups that accommodates a set of hooks for sausages, that would be pretty similar to the traditional low-tech chinese cooking method.

But as i don't have one, I'll probably just smoke it directly on the grates and then kick up the temperature a LOT and glaze in disposable aluminum pans.
