MOMOFUKU'S BO SSAM
This is a recipe to win the dinner party sweepstakes, and at very low stakes: slow-roasted pork shoulder served with lettuce, rice and a raft of condiments. The chef David Chang serves the dish, known by its Korean name, bo ssam, at his Momofuku restaurant in the East Village and elsewhere. He shared the recipe with The Times in 2012. Mr. Chang is known as a kitchen innovator, but his bo ssam is a remarkably straightforward way to achieve high-level excellence with little more than ingredients and time. Simply cure the pork overnight beneath a shower of salt and some sugar, then roast it in a low oven until it collapses. Apply some brown sugar and a little more salt, then roast the skin a while longer until it takes on the quality of glistening bark. Meanwhile, make condiments - hot sauces and kimchi, rice, some oysters if you wish. Then tear meat off the bone and wrap it in lettuce, and keep at that until everything's gone.

Steps:
- Place the pork in a large, shallow bowl. Mix the white sugar and 1 cup of the salt together in another bowl, then rub the mixture all over the meat. Cover it with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- When you're ready to cook, heat oven to 300. Remove pork from refrigerator, brush any excess sugar mixture off the fat cap and discard any juices. Place the pork in a roasting pan and set in the oven and cook for approximately 6 hours, or until it collapses, yielding easily to the tines of a fork. (After the first hour, baste hourly with pan juices.) At this point, you may remove the meat from the oven and allow it to rest for up to an hour.
- Meanwhile, make the ginger-scallion sauce. In a large bowl, combine the scallions with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and taste, adding salt if needed.
- Make the ssam sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the chili pastes with the vinegar and oil, and mix well.
- Prepare rice, wash lettuce and, if using, shuck the oysters. Put kimchi and sauces into serving bowls.
- When your accompaniments are prepared and you are ready to serve the food, turn oven to 500. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining tablespoon of salt with the brown sugar. Rub this mixture all over the cooked pork. Place in oven for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, or until a dark caramel crust has developed on the meat. Serve hot, with the accompaniments.

Steps:
- Put soy, brown sugar, ginger, and Newcastle in a container, mix well then add the chops.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Heat grill to medium-high and put on the chops. Grill until done to about 160 degrees-somewhere around 10-15 minutes.
Tips:
- Pork shoulder is the ideal cut for pulled pork due to its marbling, which results in tender and flavorful meat.
- Rubbing a spice mixture onto the pork before cooking enhances its flavor. Common spices include paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cooking the pork shoulder low and slow allows the connective tissues to break down, resulting in fall-apart tender meat.
- Basting the pork periodically with cooking liquid or a mixture of apple cider vinegar, mustard, and honey adds moisture and flavor.
- Using a meat probe thermometer ensures that the pork reaches the desired internal temperature of 200-205°F (93-96°C) for tender and juicy pulled pork.
- Allowing the pulled pork to rest for 30-60 minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful meat.
- Serving pulled pork with classic sides like coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad completes the meal.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you prefer a classic barbecue sandwich, tacos, or sliders, pulled pork is sure to satisfy your taste buds. With careful preparation and cooking, you can create tender, juicy pulled pork that will be the star of your next gathering. Experiment with different spice rubs, cooking methods, and sides to find your perfect pulled pork recipe.
