Ingredients

  • 900 g Pork shoulder, boneless
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten‑free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce (sugar‑free)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
  • 12 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. 1

    1. In a bowl combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, lime juice, and olive oil; whisk to create the char siu marinade.

  2. 2

    2. Pat the pork shoulder dry, then rub the marinade all over the meat, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes while you preheat the oven.

  3. 3

    3. Preheat the oven to 150 °C (300 °F). Place the marinated pork on a rack in a roasting pan, cover loosely with foil, and roast for 150 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the meat is tender and easily shreddable.

  4. 4

    4. Remove the pork, let it rest 5 minutes, then shred with two forks and toss with any pan juices and sliced green onions.

  5. 5

    5. To serve, spoon the shredded char siu pork into individual lettuce leaves, drizzle with any remaining pan juices, and enjoy immediately.
