Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, Chinese five-spice powder, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Place the boneless pork shoulder in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Roast the Pork

    Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on a baking rack in a roasting pan. Reserve the marinade for basting. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, basting with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    The pork is done when its internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Cook the Rice

    While the pork is resting, cook the rice according to package instructions.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the pork and serve it over a bed of rice. Drizzle with additional honey char siu sauce if desired.
