Cut the pork shoulder into long strips.

In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, Char Siu Sauce and Chinese White Liquor.

Add the pork strips to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Use your hands to evenly distribute the marinade over the meat every couple of hours. Allow the meat to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F(190°C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and put a rack over it.

After roasting the pork for 20 minutes, remove it from the oven, brush on a layer of marinade, flip the meat, apply another layer of marinade, and continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes or until the pork is cooked. If the meat is cooking too quickly, shield it with aluminum foil.

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
