It's pretty standard for generic American Chinese restaurants doing char siu. I guess they figure they have to make it bright red because otherwise stupid Americans would be mad it wasn't red. I think the brownish appearance from star anise, a blend of dark and light soy, and sugar (or I use honey) is more natural. I generally do this for pork belly when I can get it.
I've seen some recipes use a form of red fermented beancurd in their char siu marinade. That being said, even that doesnt even come REMOTELY close to the watermelon-candy-red you see. Yeah, it's closer to a dull brown-red.

And pork belly char siu is the bomb. Not that I mind leaner cuts either.

It's like that bright red "sweet and sour" sauce some places use. It's just some commercially prepared bullshit full or corn syrup, vinegar and red food coloring. And I would bet the same could be said for the orange chicken they served which is, "the best way to know if they're good". No. It's more something they got from Sysco by the gallon.

And the use of some kind of Toban Djan in their marinade would go a long way in giving it some flavor. But as you said it's closer to a brick red afterwards. That shit he got was almost glowing it was so fluorescent.

I think I'm going to try pork shoulder next. It's easier to find and somewhat less fatty. If you routinely eat pork belly you'll swell up like Chairman Mao.
Pork shoulder is the best when it comes to a long, slow roast or smoke. Made some Cochinita pibil in banana leaves the other day and it was amazing.

Now yes, often it is, but (to be fair) at the same time I've seen some recipes that base sweet and sour sauce on ketchup, adding some vinegar and sugar to it. Might be blasphemous to traditional chinese, but at least it's better than red dye
 
This might sound queer, but does anyone else feel like it's "over" now? Like the real entertaining days of Jack are behind us? It's a similar feeling to the end of the Golden Age of Chris, honestly. Now it just feels sad. Like watching emergency services removing the bodies from a car wreck or something.

Jack is obviously on a permanent and irreversible decline. He might not die within the next year or so, but I wouldn't be shocked if he's no longer capable of making content within the next six months.

PS fuck the duck nigger, spineless faggot.

You're not wrong. His videos aren't even worth making fun of anymore. The cookbook was the most entertaining thing he's done since the last stroke.

It's not comfy knowing even an asshole like Jack is probably going to be dead soon. He just isn't a bad enough person to find his death actually funny, even if he did it all to himself.

I'm holding out for a bit more material on the Prepper/Homesteader Jack front, but JOTG and CWJ are just going to limp along indefinitely until Fat croaks.

It would be kinda funny if he were able to come to the realization that he, in fact, did do all of it to himself. But he doesn't seem capable of that. It's just going to be "muh hard water" and "muh energy drinks" right to the grave.

The cookbook was probably the funniest thing Jack has done since his body started showdown mode. His videos are kind of pathetic to watch although I do find the humor in him just going on with his usual life as if nothing ever happened. Its just sad to know that we wont get his classic Jackass behavior that we have seen in the past.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Fatty has already complained about cripple accessible shit, once Tammy gets their lives sorted out from the move she'll have more time to drive him around, and eventually just out of sheer quantity of videos we'll get Fatty bitching about some minimum wage employee at a chain restaurant not treating him like he's royalty.

You can make satay sauce using peanut butter if you really want but tell that to an Indonesian and they'll have your head. Point being this is stripmall Chinese food made for American palates and Jagoff is acting like it's amazing. The man literally knows nothing about good food. His only care is lots of fats, carbs and salt and then calls it "Gud" .

The golden days are over when he was still mobile and putting on a happy face. He's dead inside now and he's only going to get worse. I'd be surprised if he made it to Christmas but then Jagoff is like a cockroach. He always seems to survive so we'll see.
 
Another bullshit pan-Asian cuisine restaurant with a giant menu. Also he thinks a hibachi is Chinese. Mushbrained retard.

Also he is too much of a pussy for Sichuan. He cut the part where his face probably turned bright red and he had a coughing fit and nearly had another stroke.
 

You know, I still remember what my grandfather sounded like before he died. He never had a stroke, but he did have a minor heart attack that almost took him out. He died about five years after that, in his mid 80s. Likely would have been a lot quicker, except he actually took the steps to change his diet; cutting out salt, watching cholesterol, you know.

In his last year of life, he sounded healthier and more coherent than Jack does here. I'd say he should change his diet, but I think we've been past that by stroke 3. Jack, just die already man, give up the fucking ghost, stop dragging your family out to garbage strip-mall Chinese places. But you know, make more cookbooks before you go please, that was actually funny, unlike watching you eat a few bites of Americanized Chinese food while giving a mush-mouthed review (it gud, beef spicy, but it gud).

I've been wondering about this, at this point is Jacking Off Ten Guys being driven more by Jack or Hammy? On one hand, I can see Jack being a petulant bitch and whining until mommy wife caves and takes him to another strip mall joint. On the other hand (which Jack doesn't have), I can see Hammy doing these trips as a sort of send off treatment. Ole Jack ain't got long left, might as well let him enjoy himself sort of thing.

Not that it really matters, but these are the kind of thoughts occupying my brain when I'm laying in bed but not tired enough to sleep yet.
