Shredded Pork With Garlic Sauce Recipes

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.

SHREDDED PORK WITH GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Combine the pork, egg white, cornstarch, salt, and 1 tablespoon of water in a medium bowl. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• 2. Heat a large wok over high heat. Add enough vegetable oil to come about 1 inch up the sides of the wok, and heat it to 325° F. Add the pork and stir gently until it turns light brown, about 40 seconds. Using a wide wire-mesh strainer, transfer the pork to a colander to drain. Discard all but 4 tablespoons of oil from the wok.
• 3. To start the sauce, mix the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and rice wine in a small bowl and set it aside. Dissolve the cornstarch in 3 tablespoons cold water, and set it aside.
• 4. Return the wok to high heat. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallions, and stir-fry until they are fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, tree ears, and bell pepper and stir-fry until the bell pepper starts to soften, about 30 seconds. Transfer the vegetables to the colander. Add the vinegar mixture to the wok and stir for 10 seconds. Then add the hot chili paste and stir for 10 seconds more. Return the pork and vegetables to the wok, and stir-fry until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens, about 20 seconds. Add the hot chili oil, if using, and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the sesame oil and serve immediately.
