Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs pork shoulder or pork belly
- 1 tbsp honey (for glazing)
For the marinade:
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp five-spice powder
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp red food coloring (optional for traditional color)
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1:
- Trim the pork into long strips, about 2-3 inches thick, to ensure even cooking and full coverage of the marinade. Pat the pork dry with paper towels.
Step 2:
- Mix the marinade by combining hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, brown sugar, honey, five-spice powder, garlic, and food coloring in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
Step 3:
- Marinate the pork strips by placing them in a large sealable plastic bag or container. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, for the best flavor.
Step 4:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated pork strips on the rack, letting excess marinade drip off.
Step 5:
- Roast the pork in the oven for 30 minutes. Flip the strips halfway through for even cooking. Reserve any remaining marinade for basting.
Step 6:
- Baste and broil: Brush the pork generously with the leftover marinade. Increase the oven to broil (or 450°F/230°C) and cook for another 8-10 minutes until caramelized, turning once and basting again.
Step 7:
- Glaze with honey: In the final minute, brush the pork with honey to create a sticky, glossy finish. Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Cooking Note:
- The pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). For an even richer color and texture, you can glaze the pork multiple times during roasting.
