Pork Marinade

Method

Marinating the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Add the pork shoulder to the marinade, ensuring it is completely submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Sear the Pork

    Remove the pork from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Sear the pork shoulder in the hot oil, cooking each side until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  3. 5

    Cook through

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining marinade to the pan and cover. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the pork is tender and cooked through, turning occasionally.

  4. 6

    Finish and Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice the pork and serve garnished with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
