Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork loin
• 0.25 cups Soy sauce
• 0.25 cups Hoisin sauce
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
• 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Chinese five-spice powder to create the glaze.

Step 3

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels, then place it in a baking dish.

Step 4

Pour half of the glaze over the pork loin, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Reserve the other half of the glaze for later.

Step 5

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the pork for 40 minutes, basting it with the pan juices every 10 minutes.

Step 6

After 40 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and brush the pork with some of the reserved glaze. Continue roasting for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

While the pork is roasting, take the remaining glaze and transfer it to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat.

Step 8

Dissolve the cornstarch in the water to create a slurry, then whisk this into the saucepan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Drizzle the pork slices with the thickened glaze and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
