Bear's Char Siu Pork image

I adapted this recipe with ideas that I got from a number of others that I found online. This is an incredibly flavorful dish, and not all that hard to make. The left-overs are great, and I always make two roasts and freeze one. It reheats just fine.

Time 1h25m

Yield 2 roasts, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pork loin, roasts about 2 lbs each
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup sherry wine (or brandy, or rum)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Sriracha
1 tablespoon ginger, finely grated
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon five-spice powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
red food coloring (optional, but traditional)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients but the pork in a bowl to create the marinade.
  • Place the roasts in a zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate the meat overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 300ºF.
  • Place pork roasts 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 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).
