A flavorful Chinese BBQ Pork recipe featuring marinated cubed pork shoulder baked to perfection with a sweet and savory sauce, finished with a delicious crispy crust and garnished with fresh green onions.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 2 lb boneless pork shoulder or butt

Marinade

  • ½ cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Additional Ingredients

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork: Cut the pork into 1 inch by 1 inch cubes. This size allows the pork to cook faster and absorb the marinade evenly. Set the pork aside.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Marinate the Pork: Add the cubed pork to the marinade and toss well to coat all pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop.
  4. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large 9×13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  5. Arrange Pork on Baking Sheet: Spread the marinated pork and sauce evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top. This sugar will help form a delicious crust as the pork bakes.
  6. Bake the Pork: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, ensuring it is cooked through.
  7. Optional Broiling for Crispiness: If you prefer a charred, crispy exterior, turn the oven to broil and broil the pork for 3 to 4 minutes per side (6 to 8 minutes total) once fully cooked. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pork from the oven, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve warm with sticky rice or your favorite side dish.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight enhances flavor but 8 hours is sufficient if pressed for time.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure safe and perfect doneness at 145°F.
  • Broiling is optional to add extra crispiness and char to the pork.
  • Substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit crushed red pepper flakes.
