Yield Serve immediately to 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound pork tenderloin
2 slices ginger
2 scallions, cut into 1" sections
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon hoy sin sauce

Steps:

  • Rinse meat with cold water. Pat dry with paper towel. Cut with grain into strips 1 1/2" wide. Combine ginger scallions, soy sauce, sherry, sugar and hoy sin sauce. Mix well. Marinate pork for 1 hour. Roast on wire rack placed on shallow baking pan in moderate 350°F. oven for 20 minutes. Turn and brush with the marinade every 10 minutes. Turn oven to 400°F. and bake 10 more minutes. Serve either hot or cold, cut in 1/8" thick slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: The best cut for roast pork is a pork belly with skin on. The skin will help to keep the meat moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Score the skin: Scoring the skin of the pork belly will help the fat to render and the skin to become crispy. Use a sharp knife to score the skin in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork belly in a mixture of soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, five-spice powder, and other spices will help to flavor the meat.
  • Roast the pork slowly: Roast the pork belly at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to render the fat and make the meat tender.
  • Let the pork rest before carving: Let the roast pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Chinese roast pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served with rice, noodles, vegetables, or simply on its own. The crispy skin and tender meat make this dish a favorite of many people. With a little care and attention, you can easily make Chinese roast pork at home.
