yes! also some smashed garlic cloves. i love garlic so sometimes i’ll add it in the egg marinade.

for the chashu, this was my bowl. i did the same thing you described, followed by broiling it for a crackly exterior, then cooled it and sliced it and cooked the slices in the oven with some leftover marinade right before serving. during the cooling and slicing, some parts were so fall-apart tender that i got some slices that almost looked like thick slabs of bacon and i took those pieces for myself. left the pretty pieces to my friends i was serving haha
