Char Siu Pork

Ingredients

• •2 lbs pork belly, cut into 2-inch thick strips
• •1/3 cup hoisin sauce
• •3 tablespoons soy sauce
• •2 tablespoons honey
• •1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• •3 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• •1 tablespoon sesame oil
• •1/2 teaspoon red food coloring (optional)
• •1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

1. 1Mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, food coloring, and white pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.
2. 2Place pork strips in a large baking dish and coat generously with the marinade, reserving 1/4 cup sauce for basting.
3. 3Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, turning pork halfway through.
4. 4Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
5. 5Arrange marinated pork on the baking sheet in a single layer.
6. 6Bake for 40-50 minutes, basting with reserved sauce every 15 minutes, until the edges are caramelized and the pork is cooked through.
7. 7Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve hot over steamed rice with extra sauce drizzled on top.

💡 Brush char siu with extra marinade only during the final roasting stage; the honey and hoisin can scorch long before thick pork strips are cooked through.
