Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Score the skin of the pork shoulder in a crosshatch pattern.

Rub the pork with salt and black pepper, ensuring it gets into the scored areas.

Mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, and brown sugar in a bowl.

Marinate the pork with the sauce mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Remove the pork from the marinade and reserve the marinade for basting.

Place the pork on a roasting rack in a roasting pan, skin side up.

Roast the pork for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 30 minutes to crisp the skin.

Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Let the pork rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with chopped scallions and coriander leaves before serving.
