What Is Teriyaki Roast Pork?
Teriyaki Roast Pork is actually a recipe developed by my step-mom. It had such a nice flavor to it that was familiar and original at the same time, so I decided to try it with a few of my own modifications.
It is a savory dish with just a touch of sweetness to it and spice if you are a spicy lover. I usually cook this using pork shoulder but you can also use some pork belly or stew pork cuts.
The pork is cut in medium pieces and seasoned with some fresh seasonings, some powdered seasonings and a few Chinese sauces. I always advise to buy authentic Chinese sauces to get the best flavors out of your dishes. It has a teryaki flavor which is enhanced with pineapples and pineapple juice.
