Chinese Roast Pork Authentic And Delicious Recipes

Steps:

• For the marinade: Put the ginger, shallots, and garlic into a blender, and puree.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and add the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and tomato paste, and stir to incorporate.
• For the pork: Put the trimmed tenderloins into a baking dish, and pour over half of the marinade, turning to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, then place the pork in the refrigerator, and let it marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and sear on all sides in the hot pan. Baste the pork with the remaining marinade throughout the cooking process.
• Slide the pan into the preheated oven, and cook until the pork is cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. Allow the meat to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
• Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
• Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
• Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Cut the pork into 1 inch wide strips.
• Mix sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and salt (I use only 1 teaspoon salt) in a bowl or zippered plastic bag.
• Add meat to marinade and refrigerate overnight, turning a couple of times if you can.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Line roasting pan with foil.
• Spray rack with oil for ease of cleanup.
• Place meat on rack in pan and roast for 30 minutes.
• Serve hot or cold.
• Note: I sometimes add garlic, star anise, or ginger to the basic marinade. I slice at least half of the meat and freeze the slices.

Steps:

• First day preparation:
• To make the marinade, combine the first 8 ingredients in a freshly-sanitized plastic container just large enough to hold the pork snug - or - in a Ziploc plastic bag. Reserve 1/4 cup of marinade for glaze. Add the pork, turn well to coat, and refrigerate at least 24 hours and not longer than 48 hours.
• Second day preparation:
• Preheat oven to 450°F Set a pan filled with 1" water on the bottom rack.
• Combine the honey, 2 Tbs. soy, sesame oil, and 1/4 cup pork marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Set aside.
• Place pork strips on broiler pan and put on rack above water pan. Roast 10 minutes.
• Brush with 1/3 of the glaze, roast 10 minutes more, and then lower the heat to 350°F
• Brush with half of remaining glaze and roast 10 minutes more.
• Brush with remaining glaze and turn off oven. Remove from oven after 5 minutes and cool to room temperature on a rack (if using for Bao; otherwise, serve it up!).

Steps:

• 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 9x13 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 the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F (63 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.
