Notes
Use this marinade on pork, beef, and chicken.
Continue to baste in order for this marinade to fully do it's job through the roasting process and end up with a beautiful coating.
The meat turns out so juicy and flavorful and stands alone well with just a simple side of rice and bok choy, or make with dishes like Char Siu Pork Tacos, Char Siu Buns, and many more variations with using this marinade.
