Ingredients

1 kg pork, whole
2 -3 tsp five spice powder
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Knorr Liquid Seasoning
8 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups water
2 pcs. bay leaf
2 pcs. star anise
whole black peppercorns

Cooking Method

Let’s begin this popular and classic Chinese dish by marinating the pork in a mixture of five spice powder, soy sauce, garlic and Knorr Liquid Seasoning for at least 1 hour.
After an hour, transfer the entire mixture to a pot and add water, bay leaf, star anise and peppercorns. Bring this to a boil at high heat and reduce the heat to simmer to slowly cook the pork until it is tender and syrupy. Adjust the seasoning by tasting the sauce.
To serve the Pork Asado, slice the pork into serving pieces with the sauce on top. For that resto look, sprinkle spring onions on top.
