Steps:

• Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, wine, honey, sugar, garlic, colouring (if using) and spice powder in a shallow bowl. Whisk well to combine. Pour half of the sauce into a jug and reserve for later. Add the pork into the bowl with the remaining sauce. Rotate to cover completely and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours, or cover and refrigerate overnight for best results.
• After marinading, preheat oven to grill/broil settings on medium heat (176°C | 350°F). Drain pork and discard the marinade. Line a baking pan with baking/parchment paper or aluminium foil. Place pork onto pan and grill/broil for 30 minutes on one side, basting two or three times with the reserved marinade. Rotate with tongs and baste again with the marinade twice again while grilling/broiling.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• If you like additional glaze, combine all of the (extra) glaze ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 5-8 minutes until the sauce has thickened (keep your eye on it as it can burn easily if the heat is too high). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Cut pork into thick slices to serve. Serve over steamed rice and/or vegetables with the extra glaze.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Remove 2 or 3 tablespoons of the marinade and set aside for basting the pork during cooking.
• Add the pork to the bowl and coat it well with the marinade.
• Cover the bowl with cling film or place in a food bag and refrigerate while you heat up the BBQ (you can make these up the day before to save time if you want).
• Spray both sides of the pork with low calorie cooking spray and cook on a hot BBQ for 2 minutes on each side. Turn the BBQ down to a medium heat (or move the pork to a slightly cooler part of the grill).
• Cook for 5 or 6 minutes on each side (basting with the reserved sauce halfway through cooking each side) or until the internal temperature reaches 75°c (170 °f).
• Serve with your favourite BBQ side dishes.
