Click 15-second audio link entitled "Chinese-style meat audio" to hear.

TIA!

Hello Jennie,

Not because of a seasoned ear, but because of being Chinese...

I know what it is. It is sometimes called Chinese barbeque pork. The Chinese make it into buns called "Cha Siu Bao" ("Bao" means bun) As there are differences in dialects (Cantonese vs Mandarin), there may be different pronunciations / spellings for it...

In Cantonese: Cha Siu
In Mandarin: Cha Shao

You're very welcome... I love this forum for the same reason -- when I am stuck on something, everybody's pooled knowledge will be out there for me too... It's like having our mobile "shout out" on a game show... hee hee... A friend of mine was commenting... "How did reporters ever do research before the Internet?!"
