Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 3

Place the pork loin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, pour the marinade over the pork, and seal or cover. Ensure the pork is well-coated.

Step 4

Refrigerate the pork loin and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor penetration.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Remove the pork loin from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 7

Season the pork loin evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Place the pork loin onto a roasting rack placed in a roasting pan, ensuring even heat distribution.

Step 9

Bake the pork loin in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 10

While the pork is roasting, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 11

In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling marinade while whisking continuously.

Step 12

Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 13

Once the pork loin is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices. Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce generously over the sliced pork.

Step 15

Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the pork loin slices along with sesame seeds.

Step 16

Serve the teriyaki pork loin with steamed rice or your favorite sides. Enjoy your flavorful feast!
