Barbecued Pork

daisygrl64's Note:

Capture the flavour of the Chinese butcher's barbecued pork, but without the high fat and salt content. Letting the meat sit in the liquid after simmering helps very lean cuts of meat to retain their moisture. Cooking Time does not include 4 hours marinate. Stephen Wong Recipe.
