Chinese Style Glazed Loin Of Pork - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs pork loin
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup apricot jam or 1/2 cup peach jam
1 tablespoon grated ginger, fresh
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 - 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sherry wine
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 -2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons ketchup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)

Preparation

Slice pork into 4 slabs and place in a large zip lock bag.
Mix the rest of the ingredients and pour half into zip bag with the meat, smoosh around and allow to marinate for 1/2 to 4 hours.
Pour the rest of the glaze into a small saucepan and cook until thickened.
Sear meat on a grill or in a hot grill pan on the stove about 5 minutes per side.
I added the liquid smoke to the glaze, because I cooked mine on the stove top in the grill pan.
Brush both sides of meat with glaze and turn, cooking until no pink shows.
Continue brushing with glaze until done.
In the stovetop grill pan, I poured all the glaze into the pan and turned the meat every couple of minutes to coat completely, and cooked until no pink showed in the meat. This only takes a couple of minutes, since the meat is thin.
Serve with fried rice and broccoli.
