Pulled pork is about the best thing in the world and with my recently purchased smoke-in-a-bottle I figured I should be able to execute a decent pulled pork recipe (and perhaps rule the world).
I put a huge piece of pork rubbed with a garlic, ginger and cider vinegar mix in the oven at a low temperature then drank a few beers and took a 5 hour nap figuring the pork could take care of itself. When I checked on it again 5 hours later the meat was not as tender as I had hoped - so I cranked up the heat for the next 2 hours. After 7 hours the meat had become quite tender but not pull-apartable so I chopped it in to little pieces instead. To give the pork some flavour I then mixed in a whole lot of slow sautéed onions and my secret BBQ sauce made from hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, liquid smoke and chilli sauce (well, I guess it's not a secret any more - but I bet you're not going to go to all the effort of mixing those 4 things together to make the world's best BBQ sauce).
Along with the pork I served a mixed chilli and cabbage pickle to cut through the fattiness of the meat. Also some slices of white bread (as is traditional in these parts).
CHOPPED PORK! Best Vegetarian Wednesday ever!
