Five Spice Pulled Pork
Description
This recipe involves marinating pork in a mixture containing five-spice powder, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and Shaoxing rice wine vinegar, which infuses bold Asian flavors. After marinating for 30 minutes or overnight, the pork is roasted uncovered at a high temperature to start, then covered and cooked slowly at a low temperature for several hours until tender enough to shred.
The slow roasting allows the pork to absorb the marinade flavors deeply while breaking down connective tissues, resulting in a moist, flavorful pulled texture. The shredded pork is then served inside buns with plenty of juicy coleslaw, providing a crunchy and fresh contrast to the rich meat. This makes for an indulgent yet balanced meal suitable for feeding several people.
