Char Siu Pork - Chinese BBQ Pork

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 3 Hour

Ingredients

Marinade:

1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar (white also ok)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp Chinese five spice powder

1 tbsp oil (vegetable or canola)

2 tsp red food coloring

Cooking:

2 1/2 - 3lb pork shoulder

2 tbsp Extra Honey

Directions

Marinate pork:

Cut pork in half to make two long strips.

Mix Marinade ingredients in a bowl.

Place the pork and Marinade in a stain proof container or ziplock bag. Marinate 24 to 48 hours in the fridge (3 hours is the bare minimum).

To Roast:

Preheat oven to 320F.

Line a tray with foil and place a rack on top (recommended but not critical).

Remove pork from the marinade, save Marinade. Place pork on rack.

Roast for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade in a saucepan. Mix Extra Honey into marinade. Bring to simmer over medium high and cook for 2 minutes until syrupy. Remove from heat.

Remove pork from oven. Dab marinade all over, then turn. Baste then roast for a further 30 minutes.

Remove pork from oven. Brush with marinade again, then turn, brush with marinade and roast for a further 20 minutes. If charring too quickly, cover with foil.

Baste again on surface then bake for a further 10 minutes until caramelised and sticky. Meat should be tender but not falling apart, like with pulled pork. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve with rice
