slow cooked pork

Recipe video above. This is David Chang&#x27;s famous Momofuku Bossam (or Bo ssam), his take on the traditional Korean pork dish that costs US$250 at his NYC restuarant! Pork shoulder is dry cured so it&#x27;s seasoned from end to end, then slow roasted until fall apart tender and finished with a brown sugar crust. Serve with condiments for DIY lettuce wraps for an epic eating experience that will be remembered for years to come!

Momofuku Bossam (Korean Slow Cooked Pork Shoulder Roast)

pork

(110 grams) white sugar

(115 grams) kosher

tbsp

tbsp brown sugar (, light or normal (not dark))

scallions

ginger

canola oil ((Note 4))

sherry vinegar ((Note 6))

tsp kosher or cooking salt (,

tbsp ssamjang ((Note 8))

tbsp gochujang ((Note 8))

tsp sherry vinegar ((Note 6))

tbsp canola oil ((Note 4))

water

tsp white sugar

white rice

500 grams/1lb kimchi

+ oysters (, raw, in shell (optional, Note 10))

Mix sugar and salt together. Pat pork dry. Coat pork in sugar salt mixture, getting it into all the crevices. Rub/pat well to adhere as best you can - discard excess salt unused/falls off (usually ~ 2-3 tbsp).

Place in a glass dish (Note 13), cover loosely with cling wrap and refrigerated 24 - 36 hours (Note 11).

Preheat oven to 150°C/300°F (all oven types) with rack in the middle of oven.

Remove pork from fridge - surface will be wet. Either transfer pork to clean pan (metal, ceramic or glass) or drain off excess liquid / scrape out salt/sugar in same glass pan. Do not rinse pork.

Roast 5 hours (Note 12), uncovered, spooning over pan juices once each hour, until you can easily pull the meat apart with 2 forks (check on side).

Remove from oven, rest for 10 minutes (up to 1 hour is fine, loosely cover in foil).

Turn oven up to 260°C/500°F (all oven types).

Bossam Slow Cooked Pork:

Mix brown sugar and salt.

Spoon juices all over pork.

Spoon sugar onto pork and use your hands to make it stick to the top and sides (not underneath). Make layer on top as even as you can (for even caramelisation).

Place in oven for 10 minutes until surface is a deep golden crust, sugar is bubbling and caramelised (see VIDEO!). Keep a close eye on it from 5 minutes. If the highest points start getting black, cover with small piece of foil (just stick it on).

Remove from oven and transfer to serving platter for serving. (Don't use pan juices, it will be salty from brine)

Brown Sugar Crust:

Ginger Shallot Sauce: Mix ingredients in bowl and stand for 20 minutes to let it soften.

Ssam Sauce: Mix ingredients together. Oil will naturally separate over time if sauce is left to stand, just mix again to reincorporate.

Sauces:

Place pork on serving platter with lettuce, oysters, kimchi, rice, Ginger Shallot Sauce and Ssam Sauce on the side.

Attack the pork - it will shred easily. Shred as much or little as you want, let people do it themselves or you can do it for them. Prepare to fight over the epic crust.

To eat, place lettuce in hand. Spoon in some rice, top with pulled pork, small piece of kimchi, oyster, some ginger shallot sauce then finally a little drizzle of spicy Ssam sauce.

Bundle up, bite and enjoy!

Serving:

Still a relatively cheap cut, pork belly yields beautiful soft flesh and crisp crackling when slow-roasted.

Hand-cut spelt pappardelle with slow-cooked pork ragu recipe

(300 grams) plain or type ‘00’ flour

(100 grams) spelt flour

eggs,

salt flakes

flour

extra virgin olive oil

garlic cloves, skin on, bashed

boneless pork shoulder

onion, carrot & celery stalk, chopped

berries,

marjoram leaves

red wine

can chopped tomatoes

(500 milliliters) good-quality beef or chicken stock

sage leaves

This slow-cooking pork casserole recipe is definitely worth the wait; it&#8217;s full of hearty flavours from cider, sage and bacon. If you&#8217;re looking for new ways to use pork shoulder, try our pork and pearl barley stew or Normandy-style casserole.

Dorset pork and cider casserole with mustard and sage

sunflower oil

British free-range smoked bacon lardons

1.2kg well-trimmed, free-range pork shoulder,

small shallots, peeled (see food team’s tip)

butter, softened

onion,

chicken stock

tbsp chopped fresh sage

celery sticks,

plain flour

tbsp wholegrain dijon mustard

tbsp crème fraîche

Heat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/ gas 3½. Put a large, flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat, add 1½ tablespoons of the oil, then the bacon lardons, and fry slowly until crisp and brown. Lift onto a plate using a slotted spoon.

Heat the rest of the oil in the casserole and brown the pork in 2 batches, setting it aside with the bacon when ready. Put the shallots in the pan and fry until golden all over. Set aside with the pork and bacon.

Put half the butter and the chopped onion in the pan, cover and cook for 10 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Return the pork and bacon to the pan, pour over the cider and stock, stir in the sage and bring to the boil, stirring now and then. Cover with foil and the lid, then transfer to the oven to cook for 1½hours.

Stir the celery and shallots into the casserole, re-cover and return to the oven for a further 30 minutes, by which time the meat and vegetables should be tender.

Put the casserole on the hob, uncover it and bring to a simmer. Mix the remaining butter with the flour to make a smooth paste (known as a beurre manié). Stir in some paste and let it simmer and thicken, adding a little more if need be, until the casserole liquid has a good sauce consistency. (You might not need to use all the paste.) Stir in the mustard and crème fraîche, then simmer for 1-2 minutes more. Add an extra splash of cider just before serving.

Slow cooking delivers lovely tender meat. Cook this shoulder of pork until it falls apart, shred it, then pile into baguettes or serve alongside veg or salad

Remove the fat from the pork shoulder (you can get your butcher to do this bit for you). Season the pork with salt and pepper then heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Brown the pork shoulder on all sides then transfer to a slow cooker. Add all the other ingredients, then cook on low for 6-8 hours until the meat pulls apart when pressed with two forks.

Remove the meat, place on a plate and shred it with two forks. Remove the herbs from the sauce and squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins back into the pot. Put the meat back into its sauce for wonderfully tender and moist slow cooker pork. Serve as an alternative to your Sunday roast with roasted new potatoes, or with a big green salad, mustard and warmed baguettes.

This tender and juicy Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder is cooked low and slow over several hours. Slice it up for an exceptionally flavored main dish or shred the meat for barbecue sauce-slathered pulled pork instead!

Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder

tbsp sea salt

Peppercorn pepper

tbsp balsamic vinegar

thyme

barbecue sauce

parsley

Pat dry pork shoulder to remove all moisture. Trim some of the fat if you like (though the fat will add flavor and moisture to the meat). Using a chef&#039;s knife or sharp pointy knife make several slits (small cuts) about 1 - 2 inches deep, all around the meat. Set aside

Using a mortar and pestle add cloves of garlic and beat until paste-like. Add salt and peppercorn and continue to beat until you have a garlichy paste-like seasoning. If you don&#039;t own a mortar and pestle you can use a food processor.

Spread garlic paste evenly all over the pork using your fingers. Be sure to push the seasoning into the small cuts.

Drizzle balsamic vinegar on to the pork and top with fresh thyme.

Bake at 450F degrees for 25 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 280F degrees and roast the pork for about 3-4 hours depending on the size of the pork. The internal temperature of the thickness part of the pork should register 180F - 190F degrees for pulled pork*. Reserve pork juices if making pulled pork.

First slice the pork, then using two large (serving)forks pull the meat apart. This should be very easy since the meat is so tender.

Transfer pulled pork to a sheet pan. Pour half cup of pork juices over the pulled pork and also about 3/4 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce. Toss to coat evenly.

Broil for 3-4 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

(Optional) Pulled Pork Recipe

Best pork I've ever eaten.  I will only make pork this way forever.  I've forwarded the website to several foodie friends.

An American classic, the meat is slow-cooked then shredded or ‘pulled’ and layered with BBQ sauce, pickles and slaw in a soft brioche bun

BBQ pulled pork burgers

tsp Spanish paprika (pimentón)

mustard powder

tsp garlic salt

tsp onion salt

tbsp liquid smoke (optional, see tip, below)

brioche buns (see 'goes well with')

cabbage

Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Rub the pork with 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Heat a large non-stick pan until very hot and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown.

Place the meat on a wire rack in a roasting tin. Mix the paprika, mustard powder, garlic and onion salt, and some black pepper with the liquid smoke, if using. Brush all over the meat.

Add 1 cup of water to the roasting tin, cover very tightly with foil and cook for 5 hrs or until almost falling apart.

Drain the juices from the meat into a measuring jug. Shred the pork using 2 forks, discarding the fat.

Skim off the fat from the juices. Mix 125ml of the juices with 4 tbsp BBQ sauce (see recipe in 'goes well with') and pour over the meat. Keep warm until serving, or reheat.

To assemble, pile the meat into the halved brioche buns, spoon over the BBQ sauce, top with coleslaw and pickles, and sandwich together.
