These Asian-style sticky Marinated Pork Strips are the ultimate finger-licking morsels of deliciousness! The absolute key to this dish is the three hours the pork is left to marinate for. Don’t cut this time short! It’s essential for all those amazing flavors to be absorbed by the meat.
The marinade is a heady mix of onion, garlic, soy, ginger and sesame – classic Asian flavors that work perfectly together and give the pork a salty and sweet coating. As well as being a marinade, it also doubles as a sauce – cook it down while the pork is in the oven so it reduces and gets gloriously sticky, perfect for serving with the juicy pork!
To make Marinated Pork Strips, you will need the following ingredients:
Combine the soy sauce, sesame seeds, oil, sugar, onion, garlic and ginger in a bowl.
Place the pork in a dish and pour the marinade over. Turn the pork until fully coated.
Cover the dish and chill the pork in the refrigerator. Every half an hour, remove the pork, turn and baste with the marinade.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Lightly grease a rectangular dish.
Transfer the pork into the greased dish. Reserve the marinade.
Bake the pork for 45 minutes.
In the meantime, pour the marinade into a small pan and boil for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens.
Once the pork is cooked, remove from the oven and slice into 1/4 inch strips.
Serve the pork with the sauce spooned over.
