Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Cut the about 450 g of pork shoulder into 2.54 cm cubes.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice wine, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder, and 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring until well combined.
3. 3Add the 2.54 cm pork cubes to the marinade and toss gently to ensure every piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the pork.
4. 4Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C).
5. 5Arrange the marinated pork cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. 6Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning the pork cubes halfway through the cooking time. The pork is done when it is cooked through and has a slightly caramelized appearance. The internal temperature should reach 63°C.
7. 7Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pork bites rest for 5 minutes before serving.
