Well, what do you typically marinate with? I usually use dark and light soy, shallot, garlic, peppers, neutral oil, msg, sugar/brown sugar.

pretty much that. I add lemongrass, and i dont add msg, and last time i used local honey instead of any sugar, and it tasted pretty much the same.

by variation i meant more in lines of adding different things to a roll. i did traditional viet ones, but the options are endless.

Do you grill? I've been cooking in the oven and then broiling for caramelization.

Pepper crusted pork tenderloin with a sweet heat sauce.

I also grilled some pork sirloins this weekend that were top 5 beat things I've ever grilled.

Two best pork dishes I've ever had were on the same day in this tiny arse village in Tuscany.

Lardo di Colonnata


I have no idea if it's even available for sale in the U.S.

and
Pappardelle with Wild Boar Ragu



which you could replicate no problem. I also had it over polenta in Florence, but liked the pappardelle version much better.

That's me as well.

Baby backs
Pulled pork sliders w/coleslaw on top

I once did a simple boudin (Billeaud's in Broussard) stuffed tenderloin smoked over pecan/apple wood to 150* internal. Glazed it with a thinned down peach pepper jelly.

Not sure if that specific lardo is available in US, but plenty of lardo is available. Its pretty common and it is very good, if a bit, well, fatty. Moderation is key with lardo. Had some last week at Osteria Morini in NYC.

Participated in a similar cook-off in Lafayette a few years ago and did a Cuban style shredded pork roast Chimichanga (fried) with a cream, chili & lime sauce...it was the hit of the party.

I was suppose to do appetizers but the host picked up large flour tortillas. I didn't get to cut them and few ate much of the other dishes.

ETA: Here's a great recipe for Cuban Pork Roast. I modified the "Mojo sauce" by adding chili powder and heavy cream...and a little tequila!
