Method

1

Pat the protein dry with paper towels. Place in a shallow bowl or dish.

2

Whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and star anise in a small bowl until smooth.

3

Pour marinade over the protein, turning to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours, turning once halfway through.

4

Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer protein and marinade to a roasting pan; arrange sliced onion around it if using. Pour broth into the pan (around the protein, not over it).

5

Roast uncovered for 30 minutes. Brush with sesame oil and any pan juices.

6

Continue roasting for 15–20 minutes until the surface is caramelized and an instant-read thermometer registers 160–165°F (pork), 165°F (poultry), or 130–135°F (duck), depending on protein choice.

7

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice or shred; spoon pan juices over top. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onion.
