Baked Pork BBQ and Garlic Java Rice

I discovered a very nice marinade for barbeque- Mama Sita's Barbeque Marinade (I heard that this product came from the family who opened Aristocrat's), and so I thought of making pork bbq at home.  But instead of going through the hassle of grilling (but I'm sure Brandon wouldn't mind doing it if I asked him to), I decided to bake them using a Turbo Broiler.  The result?  Really nice and flavorful barbeque.  Not oily at all and no burnt bits.  Here's the very easy recipe:

Baked Pork Barbeque



Ingredients:
Fresh Pork Kasim, fat portion removed and cut into small cubes
Mama Sita's Barbeque Marinade

Procedure:
Marinate the pork cubes in Mama Sita's Barbeque Marinade overnight.  Place meat through skewers or barbeque sticks.  Bake in preheated turbo broiler at 375F for 10-15 minutes (or until done), turning each stick halfway and brushing the tops with remaining marinade.



Just before dinnertime, I decided to whip up a very easy java rice as the perfect accompaniment to any barbeque dish.

Garlic Java Rice 

Ingredients:
Cooked plain rice
Cooking oil
Star Margarine
Lots of minced garlic
Minced onions
Tomato Sauce (I used Hunt's)
Salt and Pepper

Procedure:
Place oil and Star Margarine in a pan (both oil and margarine were used to prevent margarine from burning).  When hot and ready, saute the onions and garlic until very fragrant.  Don't let the garlic turn brown and bitter.  Add the cooked rice.  Combine thoroughly.  Add the tomato sauce little by little (too much tomato sauce will make the rice sour), then toss well until rice turns into a nice light orange color.  Season with salt and pepper.  If desired, add more margarine as a finishing touch to make rice glossy.  Serve with pork barbeque.  (I wish we had atsara and java sauce!) 


Note:  I'm sorry that these recipes don't contain exact measurements, but that's how I usually cook.  Just trust your tastebuds :)
