Ingredients

For the Marinade:

800 g pork shoulder or pork loin cut into thick strips
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 teaspoon white pepper

For the Honey Glaze:

4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Prep the Pork:

Cut the pork into thick strips, approximately 4-5 cm in width.

Make the Marinade:

In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Mix well.

Marinate the Pork:

Add the pork to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Place a rack on a baking tray and lay a piece of aluminum foil underneath for easy clean-up.

Cook the Pork:

Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
Place the pork strips on the prepared rack.
Bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking.

Prepare the Honey Glaze:

While the pork is cooking, mix the honey and water in a small bowl to create the glaze.

Apply the Glaze:

After 20 minutes of cooking, remove the pork from the oven.
Generously brush the honey glaze over the pork strips.
Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the pork takes on a rich, caramelized appearance.

Rest and Slice:

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Slice the pork into thick pieces.

Serve:

Serve hot, accompanied by steamed rice and your choice of vegetables.
