Bear'S Char Siu Pork - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 pork loin, roasts about 2 lbs each
    1/2 cup hoisin sauce
    1/2 cup sherry wine (or brandy, or rum)
    1/4 cup honey
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
    2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Sriracha
    1 tablespoon ginger, finely grated
    1 tablespoon garlic powder
    1 tablespoon five-spice powder
    2 tablespoons onion powder
    red food coloring (optional, but traditional)
Preparation
    Mix all ingredients but the pork in a bowl to create the marinade.
    Place the roasts in a zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate the meat overnight.
    Preheat oven to 300\u00b0F.
    Place pork roasts onto a rack over a sheet pan. Reserve the left-over marinade. Don't forget to line the pan with aluminum foil or you'll be very sorry when clean-up time comes.
    Roast 1 hour.
    While pork is roasting, place the reserved marinade in a saucepan and boil vigorously for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
    After the 1 hour roasting time, baste the pork with the thickened glaze. Place back into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes to set the glaze.
    Let rest 10 minutes. Slice the pork thinly and serve over noodles (or rice).
