Ingredients

Method

  1. Mix sesame seeds and oil into the glaze before brushing on the pork.
  2. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Score the skin of the pork with a knife in a crosshatch pattern.
  3. Mix salt, five-spice, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and oil. Rub the mixture over the pork.
  4. Place pork on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 180°C (350°F) and continue roasting for 1.5-2 hours until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F).
  5. Brush with cornstarch and water mixture and return to oven for 10-15 minutes to crisp the skin.
