Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey (plus extra for glazing)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp cooking Chinese wine
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp 5 spice powder
  • 3 drops red food color
  • 2 lbs pork loin ((see note))

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, honey, sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, five spice powder, and food coloring.
  • Place the pork in a container large enough to hold it. Pour the marinade over the pork and transfer the container to the refrigerator. Marinate the pork for at least a few hours, but for the best results marinate it overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the pork on the baking sheet. Bake the pork for 30 minutes, turn it over and bake it for 30 minutes more. Adjust the oven temperature to 400°F and roast the pork for 10 to 15 minutes or until the top of the pork is charred and crispy.
  • Brush the pork with honey to give it a glossy shine. Slice and serve as an appetizer or main dish.
