Barbecued Chinese Roast Pork is easy to make in your oven and features Asian flavors. Serve it with fried rice and your favorite vegetables.
This roast is so easy to make in your oven. Simply remove any excess fat from a large, boneless loin of pork, score it, put sauce on it and roast it. It comes out sweet and smoky.
Loin of pork is a nice cut if you want to reduce fat intake. It’s very lean, but you might still find fat on the outside. Use a sharp boning knife to remove the fat you don’t want. If you are okay with the fat or enjoy crisp fat, then leave the fat on.
Pork should be cooked to between 145°F / 62°C (medium-rare) to 160°F / 71°C (well-done), depending on how you like it. You don’t have to cook pork to death. It should still be a little pink inside, which would be medium-rare. The USDA, which used to recommend well-done now recommends medium-rare with a 3 minute rest time. That’s good news. No one liked nasty dried-out, tasteless pork!
What to serve with Chinese Roast Pork
I like to serve Same Day Fried Rice and Asian Roasted Vegetables with this.
The Same Day Fried Rice is very easy to prepare. If you have leftover pork, save it to make more fried rice at a later time. Pork freezes very well.
The roasted vegetables are a take-off on the Fire Roasted Balsamic vegetables that Trader Joe’s used to have. You can put the sheet pan with the vegetables on the second rack in your oven.
