  1. Hi Larry. I went to my local Asian market today trying to get together the ingredients to make this recipe, and I couldn't find the fermented red bean paste. I found mashed red beans in a can, and a glass jar that said fermented bean curd, which was big white chunks of tofu in a reddish sauce, but that didn't look anything like what you used for your char siu. Could you share the brand or a picture of the product you used? Maybe I could find it online. Unfortunately, the owner of the store was very unhelpful. I've been looking for an easy, tasty Char Siu and I'd really like to try your recipe. Please help. Thank you in advance, Susan.

  5. Larry, I am sorry if I was not clear, when I press broiler on my stove, it ask for a temperature. On my last stove it was always 550 degrees, this new stove lets me set the temperature. What temperature would you recommend? Thanks again, good food, good laughs, good life.

    1. Ahh, yeah I did misunderstand! Umm...I have the oven that says high or low, so I'm not sure of the temperature on low. I do know when the broiler is on high it's at 500º, so I would assume low is between 350-400º. The exact temperature won't matter.....you want it to be hot enough to caramelize the surface of the meat, but not too hot that it burns. Does that make sense? Let me know how it turns out! Thanks!
