Barbecued Pork--Chinese Style image

This recipe comes from Dorothy Huang, who is a local chef and cookbook author. I think it makes a wonderful barbecued pork that tastes like the best Chinese restaurant's! You can slice the pork into 2 inch by 1/8 inch pieces and serve hot, or cold as part of a Chinese cold plate. Prep time does not include marinating time.

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 lbs pork (use shoulder, boneless pork roast or tenderloin)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce or 3 tablespoons Chinese barbecue sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, finely minced

Steps:

  • Trim fat off pork and cut meat into pieces about the size of pork chops, 3/4 inch thick. (If using pork tenderloin, cut in half lengthwise).
  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Dip each piece of pork into the marinade to coat well.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Place pork pieces on a barbecue grill over medium heat and barbecue for about 30 minutes or until fully cooked, turning once or twice while cooking.
  • During the last 10 minutes, baste with the marinade.
  • Tip: Barbecued pork has the best flavor when cooked over charcoal, but it can also be cooked in the oven.
  • Line a roasting pan with foil and add some water to prevent smoking.
  • Put the pan on the lower rack.
  • Place the pork on the upper rack, 3 inches from the heat source.
  • Broil pork pieces 2 minutes on each side.
  • Brush with marinade; reduce heat to 350°F and roast for 30 minutes.
  • Divide leftover pork into 4-ounce packages and freeze.
