     1/4           cup  honey
     1/3           cup  sugar
  1           teaspoon  salt
  2        tablespoons  scotch whisky or dry sherry
  3        tablespoons  hoisin sauce
  1           teaspoon  peeled and finely grated fresh ginger
     1/2      teaspoon  five-spice powder -- optional
  4             pounds  boneless country-style pork butt or tenderloin
                        *** HONEY GLAZE ***
  3        tablespoons  honey
  2          teaspoons  light soy sauce
  1           teaspoon  asian sesame oil

Preparation:

In a small saucepan, combine the light and dark soy sauces, honey, sugar, salt, whisky or sherry, hoisin sauce, ginger, and the five-spice powder, if using. Heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool. Cut the pork into strips about 2 inches (5 cm) wide, 7 inches (18 cm) long and 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) thick. Place in a lock-top plastic bag, add the marinade and seal closed. Massage to coat the meat fully with the marinade. Refrigerate overnight or for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before roasting. Preheat the oven to 450øF (230øC). Pour boiling water into a roasting pan to a depth of 1/2 inch (12 mm). Rest a cooling rack slightly larger than the pan on top of it. Drain the pork and set the strips across the rack. Roast for 15 minutes. Turn the strips over and roast until browned and firm to the touch, about 15 minutes longer. Meanwhile, make the honey glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring well. Brush the strips with the glaze and roast until the edges begin to char, about 1 minute longer. Remove from the oven, cover and let rest for 15 minutes, then cut the strips across the grain into thin slices. Serve warm or cold. Preparation Time: 9 hours 10 minutes Makes about 3 pounds
