Ingredients
2 lb boneless pork shoulder, cut into 8x, 2-1/2x1/2 pieces
MARINADE
5 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ginger juice
4 tbsp ketchup
4 tbsp soy sauce
5 tsp white wine
1 tsp five spice powder
BASTING SAUCE
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey
Directions
Marinate pork for 2-4 hours, or overnight if you wish. Preheat oven
to 375F and place marinated pork on a rack over a roasting pan filled
with 1 cup of water. Bake for 20 minutes, basting occasionally with
remaining marinade. Turn and bake another 20 minutes.
Take pan out of oven, swich oven to broil. Baste both sides of pork
with basting sauce and broil for 1 minute on each side.
Let pork cool and cut into thin slices. Serve hot or cold. Keep in
tightly sealed container in refrigerator or in freezer if not served
right away. Reheat with a little water in roasting pan, or wrap in
foil.
Notes: Let the meat marinade at least 8 hours - you will get a much
more tender result. Make extra, it's really good... We serve it cold
on a plate with pickled ginger and green onion flowers as a starter
to a Chinese meal. Or add it to 'La Choy' frozen wonton soup along
with some green onion, and slivered vegetables for a 'homemade' look.

The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient cooks made use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
