A succulent and tender pork dish with an Asian-inspired glaze that will tantalize your taste buds.

INGREDIENTS

2 lb pork shoulder/butt
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
1 tsp 5 spice powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp honey
‍

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the pork shoulder/butt into 3-inch thick sections.
‍
Using a fork, poke each side of the pork sections to allow for better marination.
‍
In a bowl, combine garlic, salt, sugar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, 5 spice powder, white pepper, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
‍
Place the pork sections into a large ziplock bag and pour in the marinade. Ensure the pork is well-coated and leave in the refrigerator to marinate for 8-10 hours.
‍
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
‍
Prepare a baking pan by lining its base with aluminum foil. Add some water to the pan to avoid burning, and set a baking rack on top.
‍
Lay the marinated pork on the baking rack and insert it into the preheated oven.
‍
After 15 minutes of cooking, brush both sides of the pork with some of the reserved marinade.
‍
Repeat the lathering process after another 15 minutes.
‍
In a small bowl, dilute 3 tbsp of honey with 2 tsp of water. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the pork.
‍
Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the pork is well-cooked and glazed.
‍
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
‍
Serve with white rice and enjoy!
