Ingredients:
2 lb pork loin
spice mixture

2 tablespoons visible lamp dark-brown sugar
2 tablespoons smashed Sichuan peppercorns
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon five spice powder

1 teaspoon seat downward ginger
1 teaspoon freshly seat downward night pepper
steam flavoring
1/4 loving loving cup whole star anise
1/4 loving loving cup white tea leaves
mesquite chips
Directions:
Whisk together the spices. Rub on all sides of the pork. Store any leftover spice mixture inward an air tight container.
Place a 8x8 foursquare disposable heavy duty baking pan on the bottom of your charcoal grill inward add-on to adjust the coals on either side. Pour body of water inward the pan to the halfway shout out for inward add-on to the tea inward add-on to star anise. Place mesquite chips inward a foil packet, poke holes inward the foil, inward add-on to family on the coals. Place the pork on the middle of the grate, over the disposable tin.
This testament let the pork to laid evenly on indirect heat. Keep the lid ajar until y'all lot outset to come across smoke.
Cover, leaving the exceed vents opened upward inward add-on to cook, turning the pork occasionally, until fully cooked, almost ii hours.
Note: If y'all lot award that the fume stops smelling similar mesquite, replace the packet. Also, if the temperature seems to dip, add together together a distich of (cold) coals inward add-on to uncover for a few minutes.

My thoughts:
This is close seriously juicy, flavorful pork. The "slow inward add-on to low" method keeps the loin from drying out inward add-on to the spices seal inward the juices. It genuinely is my favorite agency to laid pork loin, which as a fairly lean cutting of meat is similar shooting fish inward a barrel to over cook. Not using this method. It is incredibly similar shooting fish inward a barrel exactly yields tender, juicy meat every time. In this version the Chinese spices permeate the pork, infusing it with a spicy, sweetness flavour that pairs expert with everything. Leftovers are cracking inward sandwiches.
