Tips
- At a restaurant, the pork is usually baked in an oven with water underneath to keep it moist and prevent burning.
- You can marinate the pork for one hour at home, or overnight for best results.
- Always do a taste test to adjust the seasoning.
- Mix the seasoning ingredients separately to adjust the taste.
- Red food coloring is optional but gives the pork the traditional Chinese restaurant red color.
