Ingredients
2 kg boneless pork
2 oranges, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
1 red chili, diced
1 large onion, sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
500 ml water
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, miso paste, and chili flakes.
Place the pork in a separate bowl and pour the marinade over it, rubbing it evenly across the surface.
Cover and let the pork rest for at least a few hours. For the best flavor, marinate overnight in the fridge.
Step 2: Slow Roast the Pork
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Line a roasting pan with sliced onions and place the marinated pork on top.
Pour any remaining marinade over the pork and add 500ml water to the pan.
Cover the pork with foil and roast for 4 hours.
Step 3: Achieve the Perfect Crispy Top
Increase oven temperature to 365°F (185°C).
Remove the foil and continue roasting for 90 minutes, basting the pork frequently with the pan juices to prevent drying out.
If needed, add more water to keep the pork moist.
Step 4: Rest & Serve
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Pour the flavorful juices over the pork and sprinkle with diced red chili, salt, and pepper.
Slice and serve with your favorite side dishes!
