Ingredients
- 1.2kg Pork Shoulder
- 2 stalks lemongrass, bruised and sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp Chinese five spice
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup chicken stock
- Steamed jasmine rice to serve
- Fresh cucumber, sliced
- Fresh coriander and spring onions to serve
QUICK PICKLED VEGETABLES:
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1/2 daikon or radish, julienned
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
SRIRACHA MAYO:
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1-2 tsp sriracha (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
- Make the pickled vegetables: combine rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the julienned carrot and radish. Toss well and set aside for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge for best results.
- Preheat your oven to 150°C. Combine soy sauce, fish sauce, five spice, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Rub all over the pork shoulder.
- Place the pork in a deep roasting dish. Scatter lemongrass and garlic around it. Pour in the chicken stock. Cover tightly with foil.
- Slow roast for 3-4 hours until the pork is completely tender and falling apart. Remove foil for the last 20 minutes to caramelise the surface.
- Remove the pork and shred with two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat. Pour some of the pan juices over the shredded pork and toss to coat.
- Mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha to make the sriracha mayo.
- Build your bowls: start with steamed rice, then pile on the shredded pork. Add pickled vegetables, sliced cucumber, fresh coriander, and spring onions.
- Drizzle generously with sriracha mayo and serve.
