Ingredients for Bear S Char Siu Pork

  • Pork Loin
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • Sherry Wine
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • Toasted Sesame Oil
  • Hot Sauce
  • Ginger
  • Garlic Powder

How to Make Bear S Char Siu Pork

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, and sesame oil until well combined.
  3. Place the pork shoulder in a large roasting pan or baking dish.
  4. Pour the marinade over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's coated evenly on all sides. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  5. Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting to allow it to come to room temperature.
  6. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 85 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C). Baste the pork with the marinade every 20 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice the pork against the grain and serve. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
