how to make five.spice roasted pork

Five spice roasted pork is a delicious dish that combines the flavors of Chinese five spice powder with succulent roasted pork. Here’s a basic recipe to help you make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds pork tenderloin or pork loin
• 2 tablespoons Chinese five spice powder
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the Chinese five spice powder, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, vegetable oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
3. Place the pork tenderloin or pork loin in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it’s evenly coated. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour. For more flavor, you can marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.
4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a little oil to the pan and sear the pork on all sides until browned. This will help seal in the flavors and juices.
5. Transfer the skillet or roasting pan with the seared pork to the preheated oven. Roast the pork for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium, measured with a meat thermometer.
6. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
7. Once rested, slice the pork into thin slices and serve. You can drizzle any remaining pan juices over the sliced pork for extra flavor.

Five spice roasted pork goes well with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your flavorful and aromatic dish!
