Sweet & Savory Char Siu-Style Pork

For the Pork

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder

For the Marinade

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp five-spice powder

Directions

  • Marinate: Add the pork and all marinade ingredients to a ziplock bag. Seal and refrigerate for 24 hours to soak up the flavor.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pork for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Rest & Slice: Let the pork rest for 15 minutes before slicing to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Serve: Delicious in rice bowls, tucked in sandwiches, or tossed in your favorite stir-fry.

A simpler weeknight take on char siu — just a 5-ingredient marinade (no hoisin, honey, or Shaoxing), baked instead of air fried. Serves 6. From Tomoko Webb on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dbl55g5BcXp/
