Chinese BBQ'd Pork and Smokey Fried Rice....something different

[cowgirl]

This was my second attempt on the new Hasty Bake. I used a pouch of apple pellets on top of the hot coals for my smoke. I didn't want a strong smoke.. the marinade is pretty powerful by itself.
The unit has the ability to smoke at low temps or crank the hot coal rack up for a high heat sear..

 

I butterflied a back pork loin..



made a marinade of...
2 cloves minced garlic
one "thumb sized" piece of fresh ginger peeled and minced
3 tsp sherry
3 1/2 TBS soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 TBs honey
1/2 tsp five spice
and about 1/2 tsp red food coloring
Bagged and let it chill overnight...



layed scallions on the marinated pork...then rolled and tied.





added a dish of rice in chicken broth ..





made some smokey fried rice to go with the Chinese BBQ'd pork.




I liked it.....a lot! :)



Thanks for looking!

Thanks tjoff!  I smoked it at 225F and brought the internal temperature up to 145F then covered it and let it rest while I made the rice.

I didn't weigh the loin, it's some homegrown, home butchered pork.  If you need to,  you can make a double batch of the marinade so you have enough to cover what ever meat you are using.  I usually make this with sliced pork butt or shoulder but went with the loin instead.

Hope this helps, good luck to you! :)
 

LOL Thanks  Meat!!

Thanks Steve!

 I used a basic fried rice recipe. I smoked the rice because I had the grill going... it seemed like a good idea at the time. lol The rice was just dry rice and chicken stock with a bit of salt... After the rice absorbed the stock I removed it from the cooker and covered it until needed.

I fry 2 beaten eggs in a little bit of oil then remove from the skillet...
then saute minced onions, green onions, one clove of garlic.. and shredded cooked meat (if you have any on hand) in a small amount of oil.

Add 2 cups of cooked rice
1TBs of soy sauce
1/4 tsp of sugar
salt to taste

You can add as much salt, soy and sugar as you like. Also I had planned on adding peas and whole corn kernals but got wrapped up in wanting to taste the pork that I forgot!
Feel free to add any veggies you like.
I also like minced water chestnuts in mine.. I just like the crunch they add.

Cut the cooked eggs into strips and add to the mix, saving a few to sprinkle on top. I sprinkle the top with sliced scallions too.

I'm sure there are many really good fried rice recipes out there. This is the basic one I start with.

Good luck and thanks again!!
