A delightful twist on the classic Char Siu, this recipe offers a balance of sweet and savory flavors with a simplified cooking process.
Combine all marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until well blended.
Ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth marinade.
Place the pork in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate overnight.
Turn the bag occasionally to ensure even marination.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
Lining the tray makes cleanup easier.
Place the marinated pork on the prepared tray and roast for 20 minutes.
Turn the pork halfway through for even cooking.
Mix the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and brush over the pork. Roast for an additional 10 minutes.
Apply the glaze generously for a shiny finish.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the pork moist.
