3 pounds lean pork loin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon rice wine
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon red food coloring

mix all ingredients except the pork to make a marinade. marinate the pork for at least 2 hours; overnight is even better.

the trick is the cooking process. i hope there is something in the top of your oven that you can wire the pork to so it can hang free during the roasting with a pan of water placed directly beneath it.

roast the pork at 400 degrees f for about 20 minutes. let cool and slice thin. serve with hot mustard and toasted sesame seeds.

if you do not have a way of hanging the pork you can use a perforated pan placed on an upper shelf directly above the pan of water. be sure to turn the pork occasionally.
