Char Siu Pork (Chinese BBQ Pork)

Combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Chinese five spice powder, honey, rice wine, red food coloring, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl to create the marinade.

Place the pork shoulder in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the pork is well coated.

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.

Place the pork on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 30-40 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade every 10 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the pork; it should reach at least 145°F (63°C).

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Slice the pork into thin pieces and serve with steamed rice and vegetables.

Optional: Drizzle with additional hoisin sauce before serving.
