Ingredients

  • 1½ boneless pork butt
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • Pinch of kosher or sea salt

Preparation

Cut pork into long strips about 2 inches wide, then score meat.

For the marinade, combine hoisin, soy sauce, sugar, wine, oil and salt in a large bowl. Cover pork and let marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Remove pork and save marinade. Add honey. Place pork on metal rack on baking pan. Roast 20 minutes. Turn over and brush with marinade. Roast for 20 minutes more.

You can also grill the pork; set up your grill for one side direct heat, the other indirect. Mark first side of pork. Turn over and brush. Mark second side; remove from heat and brush. Cook covered for about 30 minutes.

Serve hot or cold. If hot, serve with brown rice. If cold, cut into smaller strips against the grain and serve over lettuce.
