Roasted Pork Shoulder
4-5 pounds pork shoulder
1 cup sugar
1 cup salt
3-4 tablespoons Chinese five spice
1/4 cup brown sugar
Mustard Ginger Sauce
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3-6 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sirracha
2 tablespoons ginger
2 gloves garlic
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil

1
Combine sugar and salt, then spread over entire pork shoulder.
2
Cover with foil and place in fridge for 8-12 hours.
3
Pull from fridge and rinse off all the salt and sugar.
4
Pat dry and rub Chinese five spice all over roast.
5
Place pork in roasting pan and stick in an oven set at 300F for approximently 5 hours.
6
Pull out of oven and turn up oven to 500F.
7
Rub roast with brown sugar and stick back in oven.
8
Pull out roast when the sugar gets crusty and melty.
9
Place everything except the sesame oil in a small sauce pan.
10
Start out with 3 T. of honey. Add more to lessen the pucker of the sauce. It tastes a lot different next to the richness of the pork. I like it both ways. 2 T. of ginger = 2 inch piece of the root. I just slice the ginger when I put in the pot.
11
Simmer over low heat for approximently 20 minutes. Adjust seasonings.
12
Strain through sieve while pouring into a serving dish.
13
Whisk sesame oil in to sauce.
14
Serve warm or room temp with the pork, but is good cold later.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
