Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cut pork into cubed pieces (about 1 inch by 1 inch). The pork cooks faster and absorbs the marinade more evenly, when cubed. Set aside.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder and black pepper. Add meat and toss to coat. Cover with saran wrap or foil and marinate for 8 hours, or overnight.

  3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

  4. Spread meat and sauce onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading meat into an even layer. Sprinkle the top of meat evenly with sugar. The sugar will create a crust on the pork as it cooks in the oven.

I’ve made this 3 times this week. Pork, chicken and tofu.

Chef Carey ★ 5.0/5

Excellent recipe . It turned out very well . I used fresh local pork butt and man it was good .

Eve ★ 5.0/5

I was short on time and only marinated for an hour and half.. still turned out amazing! I cut 1/4 slices and the meat was tender and delish. W where has this been my whole life?!

Brittany ★ 5.0/5

Followed the recipe exactly as written up until the baking part. I put a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and added about 1/3 cup of water to keep the pork moist. It turned out amazing! Like holy crap, my tastebuds were so happy! My husband, he hates pork with every fiber of his being, devoured this!

Nani ★ 4.0/5

Mine tastes more like char siu the next day. Char siu typically isn’t spicy but this one had a little kick right out of the oven, but the next day I didn’t taste the spiciness as much. But I’d still leave out the chili flakes if I were to make it again.

Did you make this recipe?
