Instructions: *Probably optional.

PREPARATION: Cut pork butt into 4 inch by 2 inch by 1 inch strips. Mix rest of ingredients and rub over pork pieces.

Marinate at least 4 hours or overnight. COOKING: Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Line roasting pan with foil and place pork on roasting rack. Roast a total of 45 minutes, turning over once or twice.

DO-AHEAD NOTES: Barbecued pork can be made anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks in advance. Just wrap and freeze. For cold appetizers, thaw, then slice just before serving. To reheat, thaw first and reheat in a slow oven until just heated through (about 20 minutes). Delicious either way.

COMMENTS: Barbecued pork can be used in fried rice, egg rolls, filling for steamed pork buns, stir fry with vegetables and as garnishes for many noodle dishes.
