Chinese Roast Pork image

20 years ago I took Chinese cooking classes, and our teacher recommended Chinese Cooking for Beginners by Huang Su-Huei. This recipe is from that book, slightly modified. It's a nice basic roasted pork, very easy to make. I use it for fried rice, ramen soup and in steamed Chinese buns. Prep time does not include marinating time. Update: Since posting the recipe, I am cooking low-sodium and no longer add the salt to the recipe as the soy sauce is salty enough, as is low-sodium soy sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs boneless pork shoulder
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine
1 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Cut the pork into 1 inch wide strips.
  • Mix sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and salt (I use only 1 teaspoon salt) in a bowl or zippered plastic bag.
  • Add meat to marinade and refrigerate overnight, turning a couple of times if you can.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line roasting pan with foil.
  • Spray rack with oil for ease of cleanup.
  • Place meat on rack in pan and roast for 30 minutes.
  • Serve hot or cold.
  • Note: I sometimes add garlic, star anise, or ginger to the basic marinade. I slice at least half of the meat and freeze the slices.
