Vietnamese Marinated Roasted Pork Loin (Khau nhuc)

Khau nhuc is a traditional dish originating from the Lang Son province. The dish is prepared with a combination of roasted pork loin that was marinated in honey, soy sauce, dried spices, and tau soi leaves. It takes a long time to prepare the dish, and before serving it's traditionally sliced into strips.

When served, it looks like an up-ended basket with all the strips of meat woven together. Khau nhuc is especially popular at funerals, weddings, and longevity celebrations of local tribes.
