Honey-Soy Stovetop Char Siu

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork collar or shoulder, cut into 2-inch wide strips
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 3 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tsp Grated ginger
• 2 tbsp Cooking oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, hoisin, five-spice, rice wine, garlic, and ginger.

2. 2

   Add the pork strips to the marinade and coat thoroughly; let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

3. 3

   Heat the cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Remove pork from marinade (reserve the liquid) and sear in the pan for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply browned and slightly charred.

5. 5

   Pour the remaining marinade and the 0.5 cup of water into the pan with the pork.

6. 6

   Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, turning the pork halfway through.

7. 7

   Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high to reduce the sauce until it becomes a thick, sticky glaze that coats the meat.

8. 8

   Remove from heat, let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin pieces and drizzle with the remaining pan glaze.
