Went for one of my favorites... chinese bbq'd pork.
I trimmed the silver skin and butterflied a pork back loin...
Made my marinade.... (make a double batch if needed to cover the meat)
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...
Layered scallions on the marinated pork.. then rolled and tied..
Onto the Hasty Bake at 225 degrees...
I used a few wood pellets in a pouch for a bit of smoke. Set the Hasty Bake hot coal grate to the lower "smoke" level. Made a basting sauce by heating the leftover marinade and reducing it a bit. Then rotated the loin every 15 minutes or so while basting.
Added a dish of rice with chicken stock....
Brought the pork loin up to an internal temperature of 145F , then covered with foil to rest while I made my smokey fried rice.
The Hasty Bake performed great! I loved the added charcoal-grilled flavor. :)
Probably said this before but I think I'm going to love this unit... :)

Great looking piece of meat Jeanie and that's a fine piece of hardware too.

You have a wonderful blog and I look forward to each new article! Can't wait to try a couple of your recipes. Must say you don't appear to be inconvenienced any by your really short thumbs as evidenced by your pic showing the "thumb sized" piece of Ginger (Sorry, I suffer from terminal Smart A$% and can"t control myself at times).
God bless,K.
Thank you Linda! :)
You need one of these Hasty Bakes, they work great! I know there are other models too, but I like the features on this one.
Hope you are having a nice week!
Hi Chris! :)
You might like smoked rice, I know you love rice.
Hope you give it a try when the weather warms.
Hope you're not working too hard. :)
Thanks Chris!
lolol Kevin! Thanks for the laugh!
The ginger was wider than my thumb so I made up for the difference by shortening the piece. lol
Thanks again, hope you have a great day!
