- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice powder optional

Place pork in a large Ziploc bag.
Combine all remaining ingredients in medium-sized bowl and pour into Ziploc bag with the pork. Press out all the air from the bag, seal tightly, and refrigerate. Marinade 4+ hours or overnight (the longer the better).
Remove pork from fridge about 20 minutes before cooking to allow pork to reach close to room temperature. Drain marinade choose cooking method below:
To smoke the pork (preferred method):
- If you want the pork a little more done, simmer it longer in the oven.
- Just don’t let the internal temp get above 160 before removing it from the grill or baking pan or you will have dry pork and you will be sad.
- Let the pork rest on a rack and baste with the leftover drippings from the pan.
