Karl’s Char Siu Flavored Barbecued Pork Loin (Atkins Friendly)
My son-in-law is on the Atkins Diet, which means cooking with little or no starch and sugar—except for artificial things—of which I am rather suspicious.

Karl’s Char Siu (Chinese Barbecued Pork)
Char siu is a common ingredient in many Chinese dishes. There is nothing quite like a fresh char siu baozi for a quick comfort meal.
