Chinese BBQ Pork for Two

We all know that BBQ pork or Char Siu is a popular Chinese dish. If we are strolling around Chinatown in large cities, this dish is sold in almost every takeout restaurant. This recipe is quite simple to create at home, even if it is just for two people. Pork tenderloin is suitable for this recipe, but pork shoulder is fine too. The marinade is for one pound of meat. Double or triple the marinade if you need to prepare for more people. I do no like to use the red food color, so it will not have the red color like most of the BBQ pork sold in a Chinese restaurant. Feel free to add the red color into the marinade, if you choose.

Ingredients:
1 lb. pork shoulder
Marinade ingredients:
2 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs dry sherry
1/2 tsp five spice
1/2 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp honey
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp black strap molasses
1 tsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:
Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Add pork and turn the pork to coat with the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Drain pork and reserve the marinade.
Place pork on a wire rack over a baking pan.
Bake in preheated oven set to 350° or use a NuWave® oven. Turn and baste often with the reserved marinade until cooked through (about 30 to 45 minutes).

Remove from oven and serve.
