Author Notes
I've always loved oriental pork roasts, but I couldn't find any one recipe that I really liked, and that wasn't an all-day affair. So taking a bunch of online recipes I played around until I ended up with this recipe that's easy and very tasty. —The Sly Bear
Ingredients
-
2 to 3 pounds
pork roast
-
1/2 cup
hoisin sauce
-
1/2 cup
sherry
-
1/4 cup
honey
-
2 tablespoons
toasted sesame oil
-
2 tablespoons
Sriracha sauce (or other hot sauce)
-
1 tablespoon
freshly grated ginger
-
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
-
1 tablespoon
five-spice powder
-
1/4
onion, grated
-
red food coloring, optional
Directions
-
Mix all ingredients but the pork in a bowl to create the marinade. The red food coloring is optional, but traditional.
-
Place the pork in a zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade. Squeeze out as much of the air as you can, seal the bag, and marinate the meat overnight in the refrigerator.
-
Preheat the oven or grill to 300ºF.
-
Place the pork roast onto a rack over a sheet pan. Reserve the left-over marinade. Don't forget to line the pan with aluminum foil or you'll be very sorry when clean-up time comes.
-
Roast for 1 hour.
-
While pork is roasting, place the reserved marinade in a saucepan and boil vigorously for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
-
After the 1 hour roasting time, baste the pork with the thickened glaze. Place back into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes to set the glaze.
-
Let rest 10 minutes. Slice the pork thinly and serve over noodles or rice.
