Serves: 5-6

2.5-3 lb pork shoulder/ pork butt/ pork belly

MARINADE
4 TBSP brown sugar
1 TBSP garlic salt
1 tsp five spice
2 TBSP oyster sauce
2 TBSP soy sauce
1 TBSP hoisin sauce
2 TBSP red wine
1 TBSP shaoxing wine
2 TBSP honey
2 tsp water
1/4 tsp red food coloring (optional)

HONEY MIXTURE
4 TBSP honey + 4 tsp water

1. My pork belly is about 1.5 - 2 inches thick and I have 2 slabs of this. Poke a bunch of holes all over your pork, front and back

2. Combine all of your ingredients listed under MARINADE. Mix well and then pour this all over your pork. (My pork is placed in a ziplock bag). Marinate over night.

3. Once it’s he next day and you are ready to cook, bring your pork down to room temp by letting it sit out for 30-60 minutes.

4. Now that your pork is at room temp, place onto a roasting rack and fill the bottom of your roasting rack up with water. Brush HONEY MIXTURE all over your pork and bake at 425F for 50 minutes, broil for 10 minutes (middle rack)
The breakdown of how to cook your pork:
- bake 425F for 15 minutes
- Brush HONEY MIXTURE all over, flip
- Bake again at 425F for 15 minutes
- Brush HONEY MIXTURE all over, flip
- Bake again at 425F for 10 minutes.
- Brush HONEY MIXTURE all over, flip
- Broil (on low) for 10 mins
- Total: 40 mins bake, 10 mins broil

6. Remove from heat, allow to cool and then thinly slice. I served mine with rice as one meal and then egg noodle soup as another meal.
