Recipe: Chinese BBQ Pork

11 ingredients · 3 hours 20 minutes · 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tbsp Sesame Oil

2 tbsps Brown Sugar

3 tbsps Raw Honey

3 tbsps Hoisin Sauce

1 tbsp Oyster Sauce

1 tbsp Chinese Cooking Wine

1 1/2 tbsps Soy Sauce

1 tsp Chinese Five Spice

2 Garlic (clove, minced)

1 tsp Ginger (fresh, grated)

2 lbs Pork Tenderloin

Directions

1. Create the marinade by whisking together the oil, sugar, honey, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, soy sauce, Chinese five spice, garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
2. Coat the pork with the marinade in a sealable bag or airtight container. Marinate for two hours or overnight in the fridge.
3. Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Let the pork sit at room temperature in its marinade for 30 minutes.
4. Boil enough water in a kettle or on the stove to fill half of a roasting pan. Place a wire rack over the roasting pan, half-filled with water.
5. Remove the pork from its marinade and place on top of the wire rack. Set aside. Add the marinade to a small pot and bring to a boil. Continue to cook until it is thick, about three to five minutes. This will be used to baste the pork.
6. Add the pork to the oven and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, basting with the marinade every 10 minutes.
7. Broil the pork on high for two minutes or until caramelized. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes, then slice and divide evenly between plates. Enjoy!
