The best recipe for pulled pork that I’ve come across is from David Chang’s Momofuku. It’s simple, uncomplicated, and results in meat with a clean flavor which is versatile enough to be used in raman, sandwiches, tacos, and rice bowls of all sorts. A long and slow roast yields meat that’s crisp on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. Most recently I served it alongside some garlic-sauteed greens, fresh corn, pickled red onions and jalepenos, and a drizzle of sriracha tahini dressing. The dressing is creamy, a bit tangy, and has just the right amount of heat to keep it interesting. I like using this dressing for kale salads as well, and it also works as a dip for crudités. Note that the pork requires an overnight refrigeration and about six hours in the oven, so plan ahead accordingly, but there is very little hands-on time so don’t let that scare you off. There will be quite a bit of pork leftover if you make the amount specified in the recipe, which means you’ll have easy dinners for the rest of the week.
