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.

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.

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.
