Jar: California-Style Char Siu Pork Tacos Recipe - Chef Suzanne Tracht

Notes:
Marinating time is several days.

Ingredients:
1 cup hoisin sauce
1 ½ cups oyster sauce
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped ginger
2 teaspoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon fermented black beans
2 pounds pork butt
1 1/2 cups chopped cilantro
1 small red onion, chopped
1 mango, diced
2 jalapenos, chopped
2 limes
Salt and pepper to taste
24 small corn tortillas

Procedure:
Combine the hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, food coloring, and black beans in a large metal bowl. Rinse off the pork and put it in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate. The pork should marinate for at least three days but no longer than 5 days.

To make the salsa, combine the cilantro, onion, mango, jalapenos, limes, salt, and pepper in a bowl and toss.

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to high heat. Grill the tortillas just until warm. Grill the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°, about 14 to 20 minutes. Allow to rest for 15 minutes, thinly slice, and divide among the warmed tortillas. Top with the salsa and fold the tortilla over the ingredients.
