Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made the variation using chicken thighs (rather than pork), and it was great! It turned out beautifully cooked on a gas grill. It made delicious bahn mi sandwiches with the carrot & daikon pickle from the book, but I think it might be better with the red cabbage pickle (if you're trying to decide on a pickle to make)

    Totally agree with Gio. This time we cooked on the grill, moving it over and beside the coals charring while rendering the pork shoulder. The marinade could be a bit less sweet. Made into sandwiches, tonight will be a rice bowl with Jasmine rice, small salad, and some dressing for the lettuce, and of course those lovely pickles!

    Page 89. 7.27.14 A winner! Tender, juicy tenderloin with aromatic flavor from the marinade. Grilled on an indoor grill pan. Served with steamed jasmine rice, and a Napa cabbage salad.
