Ingredients
For the pork:
- 3 ½-4 pounds boneless pork butt see notes in post
For the sauce:
- 6 medium garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus more to taste
- ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¾ cup honey
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
For finishing:
- finely grated zest from one lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Lime Wedges for garnish
- sesame seeds for garnish
- fresh cilantro and/or basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 300˚F. degrees. Remove any large areas of fat from the pork and discard. Cut the roast into two halves.
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a large Dutch oven that has a lid. Stir well to combine. Taste, and if you’d like more heat, add another ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Add the two pieces of pork to the pan. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top. Cover, transfer to the oven and roast for 2½- 3 hours. Turn the meat to the opposite side after one hour. Repeat, turning after the second hour.
- Check the meat after 2½ hours. It should shred easily with a fork. If it’s not super tender, return to the oven for another 15-30 minutes.
- Using tongs, transfer the pork to a serving platter or a large shallow serving bowl. Use a ladle or large serving spoon to skim off (and discard) the excess fat on the surface of the cooking liquid remaining in the Dutch oven,
- Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, about 6-8 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, coarsely shred the pork using two forks. Sprinkle the lime zest and juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, then toss to combine.
- Serve over rice or noodles. Top with sesame seeds, fresh herbs, lime wedges and quick pickled red onions and cucumbers (see Café Tips above in the post on how to make quick pickled red onions and cucumbers). Pass the remaining sauce at the table, You can also use this pork in sandwiches, wraps, quesadillas, tacos, lettuce cups and on pizza.
