1. Remove skin of shallot and slice them. Cut the spring onion to 5 cm length. The pork should be a long strip about 5cm thick. Mix all seasoning in a bowl and adjust taste if needed.
2. Put everything in a plastic zip bag to marinate. Zip up the bag and massage the meat so that the marinate is well mixed and cover all surfaces of the pork. Put in the fridge and marinate overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 200 degree Celsius. Put the pork and all marinate juice in a baking tray but discard the spring onion and shallot. Cover with aluminium foil and bake for 50 minutes.
4. Remove the aluminium foil. (Turn your oven to heating from above only if possible) Baste the pork with the sauce, flip it and baste and bake for 3 more minutes. Baste, flip, baste and bake again until the color looks good (around one to two more times). After the last round of basting, brush with some honey, and instead of baking for 3 minutes, bake for 10 minutes with close monitoring. You can bake for longer (around 15 min more) if you like the surface to be a little burnt. Turn off the oven and let it sit in the oven for 15 minutes.
5. Chop it up and it's done!
