Pulled Japanese style pork

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.8kg pork shoulder, quartered (skin can stay on and be removed end of cook time)
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup sake
  • 1 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 3cm piece ginger, peeled, halved
  • 8 garlic cloves, peeled

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 150°C.

Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pork shoulder and cook for 2 minutes on both sides.

Add remaining ingredients to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cover and place in the oven. Cook, spooning liquid over pork every hour for 3½ – 4 hours or until pork is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

Remove from pan and place on a chopping board. Remove rind and slice pork.

Place sliced pork in serving bowls. Serve with pickled cucumber with a generous drizzle of excess cooking liquid and cabbage salad.
