Haha, okay, I didn’t want to bore y’all with all my failed attempts, but since you asked. 
I did the noted failed cicerchia. Then overnight soaked dried chickpeas (water, salt, baking soda) intending to simmer, drain, dry & fry, but they got really soft so I fried a cup to experiment. Another fail. Cooked are better for frying. I’ve also used jarred & canned chickpeas which work just as well. Note: rub peas between PT to get as much skin off as possible before frying.

A friend made crunchy snacks by roasting dry chickpeas in hot sand or salt (can’t remember which but I found discussion of both online).

Blue Apron has altered their recipes featuring roasted chickpeas by recommending that you first dry them out in the oven and then slather w/ oil + seasoning. I thought it worked pretty well the one time I tried it.

I’ll try roasting when the weather gets better. Frying cooked chickpeas in really hot oil takes about 5 minutes.

I’ve been cooking more recently again but forgetting to take photos. Made some char sui today, from Costco de boned “country ribs” 3/lb. Char sui at hk bbq places is getting outta control between 15-20 a lb sometimes.

Shoulder. Might be cheaper to get a big piece and break it down yourself.
Lovely! When I finally have time I am going to attempt a charcoal grilled version. Any advice will be appreciated!

Like you’re going to grill it over charcoal or use charcoal in a standing oven old school hk style?

But, yeah, not sure how much time you’re going to get to enjoy it!
