Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork loin roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons scallions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Place the pork roast in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.

Step 4

While the pork is roasting, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine hoisin sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir well and cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Once the pork is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and brush the hoisin sesame sauce generously over the top. Return the pork to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Step 6

Remove the pork from the oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

Step 7

Slice the pork and arrange it on a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining sauce from the roasting pan and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
