- You could freeze some of the meat and thaw for dinners later.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the brown sugar, soy sauce and garlic into a blender. Blend until smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Put the pork into a large baking pan. Pour the marinade all over, making sure all sides are coated well. Cover and marinade in the refrigerator overnight.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and place in a roasting pan. Add the water to the bottom of the pan. Bake in a preheated 300-degree F oven for about 4 hours or until meat is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before shredding or slicing.
- While the meat rests, whisk together the pan juices and the hoisin sauce. Serve with the pork.
