Roast pork with honey-soy glaze

Now it’s time to bake the pork to perfection!

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Coat the Pork: Brush the seared pork with the honey-soy glaze, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Be generous with the glaze to create a flavorful crust.
• Roast the Pork: Place the glazed pork in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes (for a pork loin) or 40-45 minutes (for a pork shoulder). The pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when done, or you can adjust the cooking time for a more well-done roast.
• Baste During Roasting: Every 10-15 minutes, use a brush or spoon to baste the pork with the glaze. This will help build up a delicious caramelized layer as it roasts.

5. Rest and Serve

Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy roast.

• Slice the Pork: Slice the pork into thick, juicy pieces and drizzle with any remaining glaze.
• Serve: Serve your Honey-Soy Glazed Roast Pork with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes. The rich, savory-sweet flavor will complement almost any side.

🌟 Tips for the Perfect Roast Pork

• Pork Shoulder Option: If you prefer a more tender, slow-cooked pork, opt for a pork shoulder instead of a loin. It will take longer to cook but will be incredibly juicy and fall-apart tender.
• Adjust the Sweetness: You can adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your liking by adding more or less honey or brown sugar. For a more savory profile, reduce the amount of sugar and add more soy sauce.
• Make Ahead: If you’re preparing for a special meal or gathering, you can make the glaze ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Simply reheat it when you’re ready to cook.
