Boiled Char Siew

Saw this recipe in a Chinese newspaper and it looks so simple to prepare. I only tried baking char siew so this is new to me. I do not have char siew powder so I replaced it with some 红糟 (Red Wine Vinasse). I just tell the butcher uncle that I want to make char siew, so he help me choose the appropriate section of the meat for me :D
