An entire pork shoulder roast is partially frozen and shaved with a sharp knife into bacon-like strips then marinated in a weak flavorful sweet/sour solution.
The challenge is to shave off a whole disk but it turns out the pieces that tear into strips are better all around and more desirable.
I imagine American style b.b.q. sauce basically a balance between brown sugar and cider vinegar, it is a sweet/sour sauce, extrapolated out from that to thousands of variations using customary readily available spices but they will not have soy sauce.
A teriyaki sauce is a balance between soy sauce (shoyu) and brown sugar with spicy-type vegetable flavors garlic and ginger. It may also have rice wine, mirin, rice vinegar but not cider vinegar.
Both can have Central American type chile in vegetable form or dry flake form or powder form, but neither will have European Vermouth.
This marinade has all of that. Watered down. Weak diluted version of all that. Powdered mustard, cumin, dehydrated onion whirred to powder, but no garlic because I just didn't want any of that this time. And man, is it ever good too.
