Today’s recipe is a flavorful twist on the standard pulled pork recipe. Instead of coating my pork in corn syrup laden barbecue sauce or ketchup, I decided to put an Asian spin on a family favorite. This classic mix of salty, sour, spicy and sweet ingredients is going to knock your socks off. In fact, I knew I had my husband’s stamp of approval when he said “This doesn’t even need barbecue sauce!” No honey, it doesn’t.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can cook once and eat for several days. Leftover pork is perfect shredded over a salad, tossed on to a pizza or cooked into a quesadilla. In fact, the flavors just keep getting better a day or two later.

Your fork is waiting.

  1. Can you suggest a substitute for the chili garlic paste? I have sweet chili sauce, but I’m sure that’s not the same. If I find chili garlic paste in the store, what else can I do with it?

  2. Liz, Made this last night and loved it! So simple and I felt like a rock star for having dinner ready when I got home from a long day at work. Thanks!
