Ingredients
1/4 c soy sauce
2 T each honey, sugar, and dry sherry
1 t salt
1 t Chinese five-spice powder
3 quarter-sized slices of fresh ginger, crushed
3 lbs lean boneless pork (butt or leg)
Preparation
In a small pan, combine soy, honey, sugar, sherry, salt, five-spice powder and ginger. Heat over medium heat for 1 minute to dissolve sugar; let cool. Cut pork into 1 inch thick slices; place in a plastic bag and pour in marinade. Seal bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until next day, turning occasionally to distribute marinade. Drain pork, reserving marinade, and place on a rack set over a foil-lined baking pan. Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes. Turn pieces over and bake for 45 more minutes, brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. Cut into thin slices; serve hot or cold.
