Chinese style barbecued pork is not only great for a snack, it is as versatile as cooked ham, but with better flavor. Cha Siew can be used for sandwiches, for garnishing Won Ton, and can be cooked
with rice, among many other uses. So whenever you make Cha Siew, triple the above recipe, and keep it in reserve in your refrigerator. It will keep nicely for many days.
