  • Rinse the pork shoulder well under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Set the piece of meat on a cutting board and pierce it all over with a sharp, narrow knife or a wooden skewer. These punctures let the marinade soak deep into the meat rather than just coating the surface. In a small bowl, make the marinade: stir together the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce, then add a little Dijon mustard. Peel the garlic, break it into cloves, and press it through a garlic press. Peel the ginger and grate it on the fine side of a grater. Whisk everything together with a fork or a whisk until smooth. Put the pork in a large bowl or pot and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate overnight so the shoulder marinates thoroughly and turns out juicy, tender, and full of flavor. About an hour before cooking, take the pork out of the fridge and let it come toward room temperature. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the pork shoulder into a roasting bag, adding any leftover marinade. Tie the bag closed tightly so the meat cooks in its own juices, then roast for about an hour, or a little longer. Roasting time depends on the size of the shoulder and your particular oven. To get a nicely browned crust on top, remove the meat near the end and cut a slit in the top of the bag. Return it to the oven for another 10–15 minutes, or until the shoulder is covered with an appetizing golden-brown crust. Enjoy!
