1.5 pounds boneless pork loin (or boneless spare ribs)
1/3 cup soy sauce (*see note)
1/3 cup hoisin sauce (*see note)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
2 drops of natural red food coloring
Thinly slice the pork into strips about 3″ long and place in a large sealable plastic bag.
Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until well combined.
Pour the marinade into the plastic bag with the pork.
Seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top.
Place the pork slices on top of the baking rack. Reserve any extra marinade.
Bake for 40-45 minutes brushing the pork slices with the extra marinade 2-3 times while cooking.
Broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra crispy edges.
Remove from oven and serve with rice and steamed vegetables. Best enjoyed immediately.
NOTES
*Make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce and hoisin sauce if necessary
**Red food coloring is optional but gives the boneless spare ribs that classic red color of takeout. Beetroot powder is an alternative option as well.
