Barbecued Pork

A really great recipe I got from Food and Drink Winter 2000.  A standard take-out Chinese dish that works well with mini pitas brushed with hoisin sauce and toasted in the oven.  Also great with rice or noodles.

2 - 10 oz (600g) pork tenderloins

MARINADE
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp Scotch whisky
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp 5 spice powder
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

GLAZE
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp wine vinegar
1 tbsp scotch whisky
1 tsp sesame oil


  1. Place pork in large baking dish (I actually do this in a ziploc freezer bag - I find I get a more even marinade).  In medium bowl, combine marinade ingredients and pour over pork making sure it is well coated.  Marinate pork overnight or at least 6 hours refrigerated.
  2. To make glaze, heat honey, soy sauce, vinegar, scotch and sesame oil together in pot.  Stir until well combined and reserve.
  3. Preheat oven to 400F.  Place rack over foil lined baking sheet.  Add 1/2 cup water to baking dish.  Place pork on rack.  Brush with glaze.  Roast 10 minutes, turn over and brush with more glaze.  Bake another 10 minutes, glaze again and cook 5 minutes longer or until juices run clear.  
  4. Cool, thinly slice and serve on platter.  Scatter with green onions.
