Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Pork Shoulder
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (Tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup Swerve (Brown or Granular)
  • 1 tsp Chinese Five Spice
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Ginger (minced)
  • 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • few drops N/A Red Food Coloring (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Liquid Aminos

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 2 lbs Pork Shoulder into long strips, about 1-inch thick.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free), 1/4 cup Swerve, 1 tsp Chinese Five Spice, 4 cloves minced Garlic, 1 tbsp minced Ginger, 2 tbsp Rice Vinegar, a few drops of N/A Red Food Coloring (if using), 1 tbsp Liquid Aminos, and 1 tbsp Sesame Oil until well combined.
  3. 3Place the pork strips in a ziplock bag or container. Pour the marinade over the pork strips, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or container and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. 4Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. 5Arrange the marinated pork strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. 6Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Flip the pork strips halfway through the baking time. The pork is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and has a slightly caramelized appearance.
  7. 7Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice the pork into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately.
