BARBECUED PORK STRIPS

2 pounds Boneless pork butt
-----MARINADE-----
2 tablespoons Light soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine -- or dry sherry
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 tablespoon Minced garlic
1 tablespoon Brown bean sauce
1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon Red bean curd
1 teaspoon 5-spice powder
-----BASTING LIQUID-----
3 tablespoons Malt sugar or honey
3 tablespoons Boiling water

CUT THE PIECE OF PORK BUTT in half. Cut the two halves into 3/4-inch
strips. Put the strips in a bowl with the marinade and mix well to coat
them thoroughly.

Marinate at room temperature for 3 hours, or overnight in the
refrigerator. Remove the pork from the marinade and baste the strips
with the malt-sugar mixture. Use curved skewers (available in Chinese
cookware shops and some restaurant- supply stores) to hang the meat
from the top shelf of the oven over a large pan filled with water to a
depth of 1/4 inch. Roast the pork at 350F for 45 minutes, basting
occasionally with the malt sugar or honey. Increase the heat to 425F
and roast for 20 minutes to finish the pork. When the pork is cool
enough to handle, cut it into 1/2-inch slices.

Arrange the pork slices on a platter. Serves 4 to 6 as a main course
accompanied by vegetables, 8 to 10 as an appetizer.
