Instructions

  1. Cut the pork into thin strips and set aside. Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the meat, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  2. Remove the meat from the refrigerator and place on aluminum grill pans in a single layer without stacking. Mix honey with a small amount of warm water and set aside.
  3. Place the pans on a wire rack or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Cook the meat on all sides until it reaches an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F). Just before removing, brush the meat with the honey-water mixture and let it soak for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve with rice and an Asian sauce of your choice.
  4. Alternative oven method: Cook at 195°C (383°F) for 30 minutes. Place a bowl of water under the meat to catch the dripping liquid.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
