ASIAN MARINATED PORK CHOPS
This is one of my favorite marinades to use for grilled pork chops. I usually just throw ingredients as I see fit, so the measurements are estimates. The roasted red chili paste can be found in the Asian section of your grocery store.

Steps:
- Place the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cumin, and chili paste in a large, heavy plastic zipper bag. Smush the bag a few times with your fingers to mix all the ingredients thoroughly and dissolve the brown sugar; place the pork chops into the marinade, and seal the bag. Allow to marinate for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the pork chops from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Shake off excess marinade, and grill the pork chops until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the chops show good grill marks, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

CHAR SIU (CHINESE BBQ PORK)
"Char siu" literally means "fork roast" - "char" being "fork" (both noun and verb) and "siu" being "roast" - after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. This is best cooked over charcoal, but it's important to cook with indirect heat.

Tips:
- Use a variety of ingredients: The more diverse the ingredients you use, the more flavorful your marinade will be. Consider using a mix of sweet, sour, salty, and umami ingredients to create a well-balanced flavor profile.
- Experiment with different cooking methods: You can use your Asian pork marinade for a variety of cooking methods, including grilling, roasting, baking, and stir-frying. Each method will produce a slightly different flavor and texture, so experiment until you find your favorite.
