Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp hoisin sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder, 2 cloves minced garlic, and a few drops of red food coloring if using.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs pork shoulder cut into 2-inch strips to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange the marinated pork strips on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet lined with foil.
  4. Step 4: Roast pork for 25 minutes, then brush generously with 3 tbsp honey. Turn the pork strips and brush the other side with honey as well.
  5. Step 5: Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, basting with honey every 5 minutes until pork is cooked through, glossy, and slightly charred at the edges. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing thinly and serving.
