Pandemic Cooking: Char Siu Meals, let me count the ways...

There are so many meals you can whip up once you have that Char Siu handy!

We miss the simple Hong Kong style Char Siu on rice with a side of Cai Lan.
So good, and yet so simple! Done in 20 minutes.

Add the Char Siu to a bowl of Ramen noodles and some shrimps, and voila!
Fancy Ramen in 2 minutes!

Miss that Vietnamese bowl of vermicelli?
Throw in the Char Siu on top of some vermicelli noodles, add some fresh cut lettuce, mint, cucumber, bean sprouts, and pickled Vietnamese carrot & daikon; sprinkle some nuoc mam, and there you have it!
If you pre-make the carrot and daikon and pre-mix the nuoc mam, this is a meal that can be ready in less than half an hour.

Miss that Vietnamese Banh Mi?
Get some buns, add the Char Siu, throw in cilantro, cucumber, some jalapeno pepper, some of those pre-made Vietnamese pickled carrot & daikon, and you have a delicious Banh Mi in 15 minutes!

And finally, throw in some Char Siu, shrimps, egg, add some frozen mixed vegetables in a big pot with some rice to get a delicious meal of fried rice!
