Here's Paul's version of Megan's entry.
Nicely done, Paul! I need to get one of those kickass steamer baskets so I can make this properly some day. The home grown bell peppers look amazing, too.
So Paul, by the way that Mojo was sniffin' the ginger, does this mean that Mojo is a "Mary Ann" kind of dog?
I have one more entry in so far, I'll post it tomorrow. Please remember, all entries should be in by next Monday, I need to get cracking on mine, too.
Paul's "Su Dong Po Pork"
I got the luck of the draw!. 'Chilebrown', is my stage name,but Bacon is my game!! My wife, 'Ms. Goofy', and I, have 'Road Tripped' to Bend, Oregon, to "A&B" butcher shop for bacon. I have cured my own bacon with Pork Butt and "Buckboard Bacon Cure". We have gone to extremes to get good bacon. I drew a recipe with pork bellys. I did not bribe the Pragmatic Dude. I followed the recipe pretty close.
I was worried about finding Pork Bellys. Our local Safeway would never carry them. I went two miles down to the "International Market" in San Pablo,Ca. No problem,they had Pork: snouts,hoofs,tails,tongues,and bellys.This market is beautiful place to find meat and seafood for a reasonable price. You just have to learn the 'inns and outs' about a language barrier. I enjoy going there.
As far as the original recipe goes, I only added a little sugar in the marinade. I served it with peppers from the garden. My dog Mojo is sniffin the ginger. He said I should of added some more Liver. (Dog Critic). Peace,Paul
Alright !!! Nicely done mang.
I've got a few of those baskets myself, small and large. I use them for reheating food. It's amazing how gentle the steam is and doesn't ruin a tender beef roast, like a microwave will do. Turns it in a boot, it does.

Paul,
Wow! I'm impressed you went all out and got the pork belly! Did you enjoy the recipe?
It was melt in your mouth good!! Mojo did not get any. His breath has smelled like ginger for a day.
