There are many ways to cook baked meat. The classic recipe uses pork - the pork loin is soft and tasty. At home, pork loin is cooked in the oven (in a sleeve or in foil). It is important to choose fresh meat - it should have a pinkish tint, a smooth and elastic structure. To make the pork loin more juicy, prepare a simple marinade based on soy sauce, olive oil, ginger and garlic.

How to cook Pork ham

Step 1

Marinate the meat. Combine olive oil and soy sauce in a separate container. Add chopped onion, crushed garlic, sugar and ginger. Marinate the piece of meat in the resulting marinade. Put the meat in the refrigerator for 4-8 hours.

Step 2

Bake the pork. Place the marinated meat on foil, close tightly, and place in a heat-resistant baking dish. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 40 minutes. Then open the foil, sprinkle the meat with sesame seeds, wrap again, and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
