Ingredients for Chinese Roast Pork recipe
4 pounds bone-in pork roast
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/3 cup honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
Directions
To Marinate: Pierce meaty sides of meat with fork; place roast in a
large plastic bag. In a medium bowl combine the soy sauce, sherry,
honey, garlic and ginger. Mix well and pour mixture into bag with
pork. Press air out of the bag and tie securely. Refrigerate at least 8
hours or overnight, turning bag over occasionally.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Remove roast and marinade from refrigerator. Reserving marinade,
remove roast and place in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Roast in the
preheated oven for 1 hour. Brush with reserved marinade; cover
loosely with foil and roast for an additional 1 1/2 hours (or until
internal temperature has reached 160 degrees F/70 degrees C),
brushing several times with marinade.
Remove roast from oven and let stand 15 minutes. Combine pan
drippings with remaining marinade. In a small bowl combine
cornstarch with cold water, mix together and add mixture to
marinade. Boil marinade mixture for 4 to 5 minutes, or until mixture
thickens. Serve with roast.
