Instructions

Pulled Pork + Korean BBQ Sauce Directions

  • Whisk together the marinade ingredients until well combined. Rub the pork with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight. Discard the excess marinade and place the pork into the slow cooker.

  • To make the Korean BBQ Sauce, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook the shallots until soft. Whisk in the chicken stock, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and give spice powder. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken and reduce. Remove from the heat and add the vinegar and sesame oil.

Notes

Pork Temperature:
Fresh pork should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 145-degrees F according to FoodSafety.gov. Remember you always want to allow your pork to rest for three minutes.
To Serve:
Cut the rolls in half. Add the pulled pork on the bottom and top with a little of the Asian slaw. Enjoy!

Freezing Tips

  • Put the pulled pork in a freezer bag, leaving about an inch at the top of the bag so there is room for the pork to expand as it freezes.
  • Be sure to seal it tightly.
  • Always label your bags with the recipe name and date so you know what it is later!
