Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork shoulder or pork loin
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork and cut it into thick strips or leave it as a single piece, depending on your preference. Set the pork aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, sesame oil, and vegetable oil. Mix well until the marinade is smooth.

Step 3

Place the pork in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Make sure each piece of pork is fully coated in the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully infuse.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and reserve the marinade for basting. Place the pork on the preheated grill.

Step 6

Grill the pork for about 6-8 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the pork develops a deep caramelized color and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Avoid overbasting in the final minutes to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions (if using) and serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
