2008: 1ST Chen Family BBQ

We baste nearly everything with my mom's soy-based sauce (mixed with sesame oil, garlic, green onions, etc)

oden... one of the bbq musts for Chinese ppl.. at least when we grew up..

our bbq tradition: 'grilled man-tou'. Years ago, we had some leftover homemade man-tou on the table so my dad threw it onto the grill... turned out to be one of the tastiest treats EVER. These man-tou are basted with my mom's sauce, so the caramelization/crispy charred exterior is so awesome with the soft and chewy fresh interior...
and of course, corn.. awesome with mama's soy-based sauce...

marinated in salt/pepper, these ck wings came out crisp and moist..

tender, flavorful kalbi...


Grilling vegetables bring out such an amazing flavor, also great on salads the next day..
shrimp skewers are also a Chinese-must when we were little, I remember skewering live shrimp in 5th grade...
