Welcome to souped-up recipes, today we're making barbecue pork neck.

Introduce the pork neck, explaining its unique texture and how to ask your butcher for it.

Use a sharp knife to poke the pork neck, following the fiber to help the marinade penetrate.

Prepare the marinade with 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and crushed palm sugar (or brown sugar), mixing until dissolved and thick.

Coat the pork neck in the marinade and let it sit for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.

Make the dipping sauce by mixing 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon crushed cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon finely diced shallot, 1 tablespoon finely diced cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 teaspoons honey, and 1 teaspoon dried chili powder.

Preheat the grill to medium heat and place the marinated pork neck on the grill.

Grill one side for 2-3 minutes, then flip and grill the other side for 2-3 minutes, repeating this for a total of five flips.

Slice the grilled pork neck against the fiber and at an angle for tenderness.

Serve the sliced pork neck with the dipping sauce.
