Spicy Korean Pulled Pork
A rich and flavourful Korean pulled pork, slow-cooked in soy sauce, gochujang and apple juice until it almost falls apart. Served in crisp lettuce leaves with fresh chili. Absolutely irresistible.
Method
Six steps · about 1½ hours on the stoveBrown the pork
Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and brown the pieces on all sides in oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until nicely coloured.
Add the onion
Add the chopped onion and cook until soft. Then pour in the remaining ingredients.
Simmer
Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 1.5 hours.
Reduce
Remove the lid for the last 15 minutes to let some of the liquid reduce.
Shred
Shred the pork directly in the pot using two forks.
Wrap and serve
Fill crisp lettuce leaves with the pulled pork and top with cucumber, fresh chili and coriander. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and eat with your hands.
