PULLED PORK WITH GINGER SAUCE



Pulled Pork with Ginger Sauce image

It's almost sacrilegious for a South Carolinian from the capitol city to make any sauce for pulled pork except mustard-based. But we love this Asian-inspired Ginger Sauce. Wonderful in a sandwich it's also great over rice. -Mary Marlowe Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina

PULLED PORK FINISHING SAUCE



Pulled Pork Finishing Sauce image

This thin, vinegar-based finishing sauce, which differs from a BBQ sauce, is the secret ingredient to kick up my smoked pulled pork. After you've pulled your pork butt, drizzle over the meat and combine. The vinegar adds contrast to the smoky flavor and cuts through the fat in the meat. It also helps mellow out the darker, gamier-tasting parts of the butt. This makes enough for a 8 pound pork butt/shoulder.

PULLED PORK (CROCK POT)



Pulled Pork (Crock Pot) image

I found this pulled pork recipe years ago, and it's a favorite at potlucks. Freezes well for easy quick meals.

Categories     Pork

Time 18h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs pork roast (shoulder or butt)
2 large onions
1 cup ginger ale
1 (18 ounce) bottle favorite barbecue sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
barbecue sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice one onion and place in crock pot.
  • Put in the roast and cover with the other onion, sliced. Pour over the ginger ale. Cover and cook on LOW for about 12 hours. See Note2 below regarding amount of time needed!
  • Remove the meat, strain and save the onions, discard all liquid. With two forks, shred the meat, discarding any remaining fat, bones or skin. Most of the fat will have melted away.
  • Return the shredded meat and the onions to the crock pot, stir in the barbecue sauce. Continue to cook for another 4 to 6 hours on LOW.
  • Serve with hamburger buns or rolls and additional barbecue sauce. Any leftovers freeze very well.
  • TIP: freeze ready-made sandwiches - a scoop of meat on a bun, well-wrapped. These make a great quick meal or snack. To reheat, remove wrapping, wrap in a paper towel, and zap 1-2 minute in the microwave.
  • Note: Shoulder or butt are recommended because the meat shreds very well. Other cuts do not shred as readily. It is a fattier cut, but the fat melts away in the cooking and is poured away when you discard the liquid.
  • Note 2: I have an older, smaller crock pot. The above times work perfectly for me. But if you have a newer or bigger crock pot, you may need to revise times downward, esp. after the bbq sauce is added. I think you need at least a couple of hours for it all to meld, but that may be all you need. Update: I recently bought a bigger crockpot, I think 5 or 6 qts. I cooked a 6 lb pork shoulder in it for 8 hours and it was shreddable at that point. Shredded, added the sauce, and cooked for another hour or so to meld everything. So use your best judgment on timing!
  • Note3: You might want to turn your roast over after it's cooked a while, to ensure more even cooking. I think this may depend on the size and shape of your roast and the size of your slow cooker. Remember that each time you remove the lid you lose heat and be careful, as turning a large piece of meat is awkward.
  • Note4: my sister says this takes 2 hours in the Instapot. I don't have one, up to you to figure out the steps.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: The best cuts for pulled pork are those that have a good amount of fat, such as the shoulder or butt. These cuts will become tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what will give your pulled pork its flavor, so make sure to use a blend of spices that you enjoy. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the pork slowly: Pulled pork is best cooked low and slow, so be patient. The ideal temperature is between 200 and 225 degrees Fahrenheit. This will allow the pork to cook evenly and become fall-apart tender.
  • Use a liquid to keep the pork moist: As the pork cooks, it will release some of its juices. You can add a little bit of liquid, such as water, broth, or beer, to help keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, it's time to shred it. You can do this with two forks or with a meat shredder. The shredded pork can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you serve it on a bun, in a taco, or over rice, pulled pork is sure to be a hit. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make pulled pork at home. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give pulled pork a try.
