Chinese BBQ Spare Ribs, Pork Fried Rice and Pork Egg Rolls...Q-MATZ Tested Hard!

[gr0uch0]

Rice questions:
1. Is Jasmine or brown rice an option?
2. Why refrigerate overnight? Help draw down more moisture so it's not exploding everywhere when it hits the hot oil?

Thanks, JJ.

Jasmine is fine but I never tried brown. Should be fine. Fresh made rice gets mushy and falls apart. Day+ old rice dries a bit and the amylopectin recrystallizes resulting in a firm and separate grain final product...JJ

Great meal, Chef! Points for sure.

I have been cooking on a perforated metal sheet but the qmatz look so much easier. You may have sold me.

Thank you very much for your testing as well as the amazing meal Chef!  My family loves any Asian dish so I can only imagine that this recipe will definitely be in my future.

I bought a mat several months ago for smoking cheese and I'm so glad that I did, but I had no idea that it could handle such things as meat at higher temps.  I think that I just might start using it for everything on my offset stick burner.

Great post JJ! I see this is over 4 years old but worth resurrecting. A lot of good tips in there...

How are your Qmatz holding out after all this time?
