 Ran across this in the SF paper the other day and, on reading
 the ingredients, knew immediately that this is one for you.
 In the article that accompanied the recipe the author talks
 about a Chinese BBQ oven that the chef who originated this
 recipe uses. It's made out of stainless steel, five feet tall
 with a 180,000 BTU burner in it! This is something I really
 need for my kitchen. This looks like a full-on, no- nonsense
 Chinese BBQ.

 Most master chefs seldom reveal all their kitchen secrets, but
 Derun Yu shared this recipe for a barbecued pork marinade,
 adapted for the home oven.  Armed with a Chinese rice bowl, he
 assembled the ingredients, then poured them into a scale so we
 would have precise measurements.

 Versatile Chinese barbecued pork is the "ham" of Chinese
 cooking.  It may be sliced and served as an appetizer or
 entree, or like a sandwich, cubed and stuffed in bread dough
 and steamed into pork buns. It's good stir- fried with
 vegetables, tossed with noodles or cooked with scrambled eggs.

 Prepare the marinade:  Heat the oil in a wok or saucepan over
 medium-high heat.  Add the garlic and gently fry just until it
 floats to the surface and is golden brown (about 2 minutes).
 Quickly remove the garlic and discard.  Pour the garlic oil
 into a large mixing bowl, let cool.

 Stir in remaining ingredients with the garlic oil into a
 smooth sauce. Pour into a glass jar. cool.  If the marinade is
 covered with 1/8 inch cooking oil, it will keep in the
 refrigerator for several months.

 Yields 5 cups.

 Then combine the sugar, salt, rice wine, soy sauce, Barbecue
 Marinade and five-spice powder in a large mixing bowl; mix
 well. Add the pork butt and marinate for about 30 minutes
 (when using spareribs, marinate for 1 hour).

 Set oven @ 500oF/260oC. Pour the water into a 10" X 14"
 roasting pan. Place the roasting rack in the pan (the rack
 should not touch the water). Remove the meat slices from the
 marinade and place on the rack; reserve the marinade.  Roast
 for 8 minutes, turn over and roast the other side for 8
 minutes longer.  Reduce the oven temperature to 300oF/150oC.
 Brush the pork with the reserved marinade; roast for an
 additional 20 minutes on each side. Remove from the oven and
 let cool for 5 minutes.

 Slice the pork butt into 1/4-inch slices.

 Prepare the glazing sauce:  To soften maltose sugar, place the
 container (uncovered) in a microwave oven at high setting for 1
 minute. Transfer the softened maltose into a double boiler with
 the water and rice wine; stir until the glaze is well mixed.
 Keep the sauce warm until ready to use.

 Makes 2 cups.

 Then spoon a few tablespoons of the glaze over pork before
 serving. NOTE: Hoisin sauce, ground bean sauce, nam yu,
 maltose sugar and sesame seed paste are available in Chinese
 markets.
