Garlic Pulled Pork Food

GARLIC PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Remove bone from pork butt. Combine garlic, liquid smoke, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and rub into pork.
• Cover the bottom of a slow cooker with green cabbage leaves. Place 1 layer of onion slices on top. Add pork.
• Combine water and chicken base in a microwave-safe measuring cup and microwave on high until dissolved, about 45 seconds. Pour over pork. Break up remaining onion slices and place on top. Cover with another layer of cabbage leaves. Cover the lid.
• Cook on Low for 8 hours. Turn pork over and, if needed, remove any excess liquid to leave the top 2 inches uncovered. Cover and continue to cook until fork-tender, about 8 hours more.
• Transfer pork to a large bowl and shred with 2 forks, adding juices from the slow cooker to moisten. Serve alone or over the cabbage mixture.

ULTIMATE SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Rub the pork with salt and pepper, and then set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients. (See notes below if you plan to sear the pork first).
• Heat oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic then cook, occasionally stirring, until they are sweet and browned around the edges. Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin. Cook, stirring until the tomato paste turns from bright red to orange in color; about 3 minutes. Add the water, apple cider vinegar, and fish sauce and cook for about 1 minute, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Rest the seasoned pork in the bottom of a slow cooker then pour the onion and spice mixture on top. Wiggle the pork around the bottom of the slow cooker so that some of the onion and spice mixture slides underneath. Cover with lid and cook until the pork can be easily shredded; LOW for 6 to 8 hours or HIGH for 4 to 6.
• Turn off the slow cooker and transfer the pork to a cutting board. If the pork has a bone in it, remove and discard it. Use two forks to shred the meat, discarding any connective tissue, and large clumps of fat.
• Remove the cooking liquid and skim most of the fat from its surface. Discard the fat then set the cooking liquid aside.
• If using barbecue sauce, add it to the slow cooker and stir in the shredded pork. For even more flavor, add back some of the reserved cooking liquid. If you're not using barbecue sauce, add the shredded pork and the cooking liquid back to the slow cooker. Taste and season with salt, additional vinegar, or hot sauce as needed.

AUTHENTIC CHINESE GARLIC PORK

Steps:

• For the Pork:.
• Put pork in a bowl, cover with fresh cool water, add about 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Rub the pork, and then let set for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, rinse in clean water. This is a step that most Chinese do to clean the pork.
• Slice pork 1/4 inch thick and in 1 x 1 inch pieces.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients (ginger through eggs) in a non-metalic container. Add pork and mix thoroughly with the marinade.
• Put in the refrigerator at least 6 hours, or even better, overnight. The longer the pork sits, the better the flavor.
• Use a deep fry pan - wok is better. Heat 2 inches of oil (I use soy or a combination of Soy and Peanut) over medium/high heat. Fry the pork in batches until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon to a tray.
• For the Sauce:.
• Mix/whisk all and bring to boil either in a small saucepan or in a microwave safe bowl. Continue whisking so that the cornstarch does not lump up. Set aside.
• Serve warm with dipping sauce.

EASY GARLIC GINGER GLAZED STICKY PORK

Steps:

• In a liquid measuring cup or a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mild honey, sriracha, and rice wine vinegar. Set aside.
• Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and swirl to coat. Let it heat until it is shimmering. While the oil heats, sprinkle the pork strips with kosher salt and black pepper then toss with your hands to distribute it evenly. Carefully add the pork to the pan, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Let the first side brown, flip the pieces with tongs or a spatula, and brown the second side. Transfer the pork to a plate.
• Return the pan to the heat and add in the garlic and ginger. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Raise the heat to high and pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. When the sauce is very bubbly and thickened like warm honey, toss the pork back in and toss constantly to coat everything and reduce the sauce to a thick, sticky glaze on the pork. This can be served immediately over rice, noodles, or as finger food, or can be allowed to cool and be eaten cold.

PORK IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut pork into 1" slices. Peel and mince the garlic. Chop the celery and green pepper into 1" pieces.
• Heat a wok (dry), then add 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. When oil is heated add half of the chopped garlic. Stir until garlic turns light brown in color.
• Add the pork and stir-fry until it begins to turn white. Add the soy sauce and rice vinegar and stir for 30 seconds. Remove all ingredients from wok and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil to the heated wok. Add the remaining chopped garlic and stir until it begins to brown.
• Add the celery pieces and stir for 30 seconds. Add the green pepper and stir for 15 seconds.
• Add a pinch of sea salt and stir quickly. Add the pork mixture that was set aside and stir for 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle sesame oil over the dish and turn off heat. Cover and let sit for 1 minute.
• Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

CROCKPOT PULLED PORK WITH HONEY-MUSTARD BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the sliced onion in the bottom of a slow cooker set on LOW heat.
• Pat the pork butt dry with paper towels. Set aside while you make the rub.
• In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, cumin, and black pepper to create the rub.
• Rub the spice mixture onto the surface of the pork then place the pork on top of the onions. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
• While the pork is cooking, make the barbecue sauce. In a small sauce, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and smoked paprika in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk and bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. (The sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.)
• When the pork is done, remove the meat and onions from the slow cooker into a bowl or platter, using a slotted spoon. Shred the meat with two forks. Taste and add some of the cooking liquid and/or salt and black pepper to taste. Serve with Honey-Mustard BBQ Sauce.
