How to Make Asian Pork Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pork roast with soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and five-spice powder. Ensure the pork is thoroughly coated.
  3. Place the marinated pork roast in a roasting pan.
  4. Roast for 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C). Baste the pork with pan juices every hour for extra flavor and moisture.
  5. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender roast.
  6. Carve the pork roast and serve with rice or mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
