🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 3 lbs boneless pork shoulder or pork loin
• 1 cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. Place the pork shoulder or loin on a clean cutting board. Pat it dry with paper towels and season it all over with salt and black pepper.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

4. Coat the pork evenly with the marinade, ensuring it is fully covered. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the marinade for glazing later.

5. Transfer the marinated pork to a roasting pan or a large oven-safe dish. Cover the pan with aluminum foil to trap moisture.

6. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 3.5 hours, basting with pan juices every hour to keep it moist.

7. After 3.5 hours, remove the foil and brush the pork with the reserved marinade. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

8. Roast for an additional 30 minutes or until the pork develops a caramelized, sticky glaze on the surface and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

9. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes to retain juices.

10. Slice the pork roast and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm with white rice, steamed vegetables, or your favorite sides.
