Ingredients

• 4 lbs pork shoulder roast
• 0.5 cups soy sauce
• 0.25 cups hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp red chili flakes
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 green onions (for garnish)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, red chili flakes, sriracha, and rice vinegar. Whisk until well blended to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork shoulder roast in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the pork from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the pork and all the marinade into a large roasting pan. Cover the roast tightly with aluminum foil to lock in moisture.

Step 5

Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and cook for about 4.5 to 5 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulls apart. Baste the pork with its juices every hour to keep it moist and flavorful.

Step 6

Once fully cooked, remove the pork from the oven. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces directly in the roasting pan, mixing the pork with the remaining juices and sauce.

Step 7

Transfer the shredded pork to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot alongside steamed rice, noodles, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
