WONG VILLAGE...........BBQ PORK

How many of you remember Wong Village in Billings Montana?  We, Bob and I, will never forget how excited we would be to get to Billings and enjoy Chinese food at Wong Village!  To this day, I have eaten Chinese food all over the US and have never had better than we had at Wong Village!  Is it still there?  Do you remember the BBQ pork they served with every meal?  I have never quite been able to copy it but finally think I have it down.

You need a pork tenderloin.  In a bowl put about 2/3 cup of ketchup, about 1/4 cup soy sauce, about 1 1/2 Tblsp of brown sugar, about 1 1/2 Tblsp lime juice and a generous shot of Chipolta Tabasco sauce and a couple minced garlics.  Mix this up really well.  Put half in a seal able baggy with the pork loin.......cover it real good, seal it up and put in frig for at least 4 hours best if over night. When ready........remove the pork, pour the leftover marinade into a bowl with a brush.  On your grill outside.......over med high heat........lightly brown the loin by rolling it around......put the lid down for about 20 min.........open......brush with left over marinade.......turn.......lid down another 20 min..........remove........let sit..........wrap and put in frig.  When ready for your Chinese dinner, slice and serve with a bowl of sesame seeds and a bowl of hot mustard!! Is there anything better!!?..........I'm having stir fry beef with mine........beef sliced thin.......brown in a wok......remove, to a little hot oil in wok, cook, celery chunks, onion chunks, green pepper chunks and throw in some bean sprouts at the last........then throw the beef back in........sprinkle all with soy sauce that you have thickened a bit with cornstarch.........serve with fried rice.  I can close my eyes and be sitting at Wong Village!! with all the great smells coming from the kitchen and I can still see the exact white linen table setting and the  little Chinese lantern in the center of the table.............sigh.
