Ingredients

  • 1 ea. (4 pounds / 1.8 kg) boneless pork loin roast
  • 1 cup salt
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Directions

  1. Combine salt, honey, water, and coconut milk in a gallon-size zip-top bag. Add pork roast and toss to coat; refrigerate 2½–3 hours.
