Gochujang Pulled Pork In The Slow Cooker Recipes

SLOW COOKER GOCHUJANG PORK

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.

GOCHUJANG PULLED PORK IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Combine gochujang, onion, vinegar, chicken stock, honey, brown sugar, ginger, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, cinnamon, salt, thyme, and black pepper together in a large bowl and mix well.
• Dredge pork in the gochujang sauce on all sides. Pour sauce into a slow cooker and add the pork. Spoon some of the sauce on top of the pork. Cover and cook on Low until pork roast shreds easily with a fork, about 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place roast in a large bowl and shred the meat with 2 forks. Pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a pot over medium-high heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover; reduce heat to a simmer.
• Mix 1 tablespoon butter and flour in a small bowl; combine with the sauce in the pot and mix well. Cook until heated through and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir again.
• Spread remaining 3 tablespoons butter over insides of buns. Place on a baking sheet.
• Toast in the preheated oven until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour the sauce into the bowl with the shredded pork and mix. Top pork with green onions. Spoon pork over the toasted buns.
