Slow Cooker Gochujang Pork image

A seriously delicious basic, Slow Cooker Gochujang Pork is the answer to life's most pressing questions: what's for dinner? What can we pack for lunch tomorrow? What can I bring to the potluck?

Provided by The Subversive Table, Lis Lam

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 lb pork shoulder
1 large onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped ((optional))
1/4 cup Gochujang ((Korean fermented chili paste))
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger, minced
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp Gochukaru ((Korean chili flakes))
2 Tbsp rice vinegar ((white vinegar also works))
2 Tbsp sriracha
1 Tbsp sesame oil

Steps:

  • Generously salt and pepper pork shoulder. Place in slow cooker.
  • Mix marinade ingredients in small bowl. Rub marinade all over pork shoulder with hands.
  • Scatter onion and jalapeno over the top.
  • Cover and cook until tender and falling apart, about 4 hours on high setting or 6-7 hours on low setting. This will depend on the thickness of the meat, so feel free to check for tenderness after the minimal time allowance.
  • Open lid and shred pork with two forks, directly into the slow cooker. This will ensure the pork soaks up all the sauce. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Arrange top rack in oven so that it's 3-4 inches from the heat source. Set oven to broil and pre-heat for 10 minutes (while the shredded pork stands and absorbs the sauce).
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove pork onto foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle leftover sauce from the slow cooker over the pork. Broil at high heat until the pork is browned with crispy edges and charred bits, about 4-6 minutes. Watch carefully so that it doesn't burn too much.
  • Transfer to serving plate and garnish with cilantro or green onion. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK



Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork image

If you've spent any time on Pinterest or food blogs, you've likely come across a recipe for three-ingredient barbecue pulled pork that can be made in the slow cooker. Methods and ingredients vary, but the recipe almost always calls for boneless pork shoulder, some sort of dark cola (usually Dr Pepper or root beer) and barbecue sauce. Dubious? We were too, so we asked the members of our NYT Cooking Community Facebook page if anyone had ever made it and if they liked it. We received more than 150 very opinionated responses. Many readers have come up with their own clever twists, like using coffee or beer in place of cola, adding onions or chipotles, rubbing the meat with a spice blend and searing the meat before cooking. We tried cooking it a few different ways and found we liked this adaptation best. It calls for a few more ingredients and an extra step or two, but it's got layers of flavor and it's still mostly fuss-free. (You can find the pressure-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Categories     meat, sandwiches, main course

Time 10h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons hot or sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3 to 4 pound boneless pork shoulder or pork butt, trimmed of most of its excess fat
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus additional for greasing
1 yellow onion, chopped (optional)
1 (12-ounce) can dark soda, like Dr Pepper, root beer, cola or birch beer
1/2 to 1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
  • Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
  • Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.

PRESSURE COOKER SPICY PORK SHOULDER



Pressure Cooker Spicy Pork Shoulder image

You can make this spicy pork in a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker if you're in a hurry, or in a slow cooker if you're not. In either case, you'll get tender bits of meat covered in a chile-flavored barbecue sauce that's just slightly sweet. (You can also make it in a stovetop pressure cooker, by trimming a few minutes off the cooking time. Stovetop pressure cookers tend to cook at a slightly higher pressure, so food cooks more quickly.) Gochujang, a pungent Korean chile paste, and gochugaru, Korean chile flakes, is available at Asian markets and specialty shops, or see the ingredient list for substitutions. Serve the pork over rice or in slider rolls, topped with crunchy pickled sesame cucumbers and a little kimchi, if you want to spice things up. And, while you can make this from start to finish in an afternoon, you can also make this in stages a few days ahead, if that's easier.

Time 3h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

5 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
1 tablespoon Korean chile flakes (gochugaru) or other chile flakes (Maras, Aleppo or crushed red pepper)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into two or three pieces
1 tablespoon peanut oil
4 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
1/3 cup gochujang (Korean chile paste) or other chile paste or sauce such as Sriracha
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
6 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (or about 4 cups sliced cucumbers)
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Cooked rice or toasted slider rolls
Kimchi (optional)

Steps:

  • To prepare pork, combine garlic, brown sugar, chile flakes, salt and pepper. Rub marinade all over pork. If you have time, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to up to 24 hours. Otherwise, proceed with recipe.
  • Set electric pressure cooker to sauté (or use a large skillet). Add pork in batches and sear until browned all over, about 2 minutes per side. Add 3/4 cup water to pot (or to skillet to deglaze, then move to pot), cover, and set to cook for 90 minutes on high pressure. Or cook in a slow cooker for 5 to 7 hours until tender.
  • While pork cooks, prepare sauce: In a small pot, warm peanut oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Set sauce aside. (It can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.)
  • Manually release steam. Let pork cool until you can handle it, then shred it into bite-size pieces. Pork can be made to this point up to 3 days ahead.
  • While pork cools, strain liquid from bottom of pot. Pour off fat (or chill liquid, then scoop off solidified fat with a spoon). Reserve.
  • Prepare cucumbers: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except sesame seeds, and let sit, tossing one or twice, for at least 20 minutes. Stir in sesame seeds.
  • When ready to serve, heat broiler. Toss pork with sauce and 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking liquid - just enough so pork is evenly coated but not wet or runny. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet, and broil until crisped on top, 2 to 3 minutes; it will char in places, and that's fine.
  • Serve pork over rice or on slider rolls, with cucumbers and kimchi, if desired.

Tips:

  • To achieve tender and flavorful pork shoulder, opt for a cut with good marbling. Boston butt and pork shoulder roast are both suitable choices.
  • For a more intense Korean barbecue flavor, marinate the pork shoulder overnight or for up to 24 hours. If time is limited, marinating for at least 30 minutes is still beneficial.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of Korean barbecue sauce based on your desired level of spiciness and sweetness. Start with the suggested amount and adjust to taste.
  • To prevent the sauce from burning, stir it occasionally during the cooking process. You can also add a little bit of water or broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • Serve the Korean barbecue pork shoulder with a variety of sides such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. Some popular choices include kimchi, pickled cucumbers, and bean sprouts.
