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.

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • pork loin, roasts about 2 lbs each2
  • hoisin sauce1⁄2 cup
  • sherry wine (or brandy, or rum)1⁄2 cup
  • honey1⁄4 cup
  • soy sauce1⁄4 cup
  • toasted sesame oil2 tablespoons
  • hot sauce, such as Sriracha2 tablespoons
  • ginger, finely grated1 tablespoon
  • garlic powder1 tablespoon
  • five-spice powder1 tablespoon
  • onion powder2 tablespoons
  • red food coloring (optional, but traditional)

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Mix all ingredients but the pork in a bowl to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Place the roasts in a zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate the meat overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 300ºF.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Roast 1 hour.

  6. 6

    While pork is roasting, place the reserved marinade in a saucepan and boil vigorously for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened. Set aside.

  7. 7

    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.

  8. 8

    Let rest 10 minutes. Slice the pork thinly and serve over noodles (or rice).
