3 lb Pork Loin, Boned and 3 Tbls Chinese Oyster Sauce
Tied 1 Star Anise, Crushed
THE MARINADE: 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1/3 Cup Soy Sauce 2 Tbls Bourbon Whiskey
3 Tbls Molasses
NOTE: You may (in an emergency) substitute 1/2 tsp of ground anise for each
crushed star anise.
Wipe the meat with a damp cloth and place in a heavy plastic food storage bag.
Place the bag in a large bowl.
Mix the soy sauce, molasses, chinese oyster sauce, star anise, garlic and
bourbon.
Carefully pour into the bag and around the meat.
Seal the bag and refrigerate 3 to 8 hours (the longer the better).
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the meat from the marinade and place on a roasting rack in a roasting
pan.
Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the roast indicates
170 degrees (about 1 3/4 hours).
Remove the roast from the oven and allow to stand for 30 minutes before
carving.
Carve into very thin slices.
Serve warm or at room temperature with hot (chinese style) mustard, rice or
noodles and stir fried snow peas.
