      Really, I think it makes kids less picky. Folks make this comment all the time about my cooking, but my kids still like their school provided lunches, and all that. They just also like a wide range of foods and ingredients I introduce them to.

    We made a pork shoulder using a similar method last week and last night I used the leftover pork to make pozole. Because the meat was already cooked, the entire dish took about 45 minutes, with most of the time devoted to chopping the veggies that went in the soup and that we used for toppings.

    Pulled Pork is something I always have on hand. Smoke a shoulder, shred it up, and put it in the freezer for use later. I'll make tacos, enchiladas, loaded bbq baked potatoes, sandwiches, nachos, whatever else. Its perfect for when you don't feel like cooking but want a good base.

  • @rbdz310

  • @underscoreMino
    @underscoreMino Před rokem

    One of my favourite meats. I make this at least one a month. Usually sous vide as it is so easy to just set it for 24 hours and forget it. Must say that this style of shredding with the forks looks much more satisfying, I usually just squish the bag in my hands.

      We did this for meal prep this past week. 4 servings each of: Pulled pork sliders, ricotta pasta ragu casserole (6 servings actually), pho with the pork bone broth, quesadillas, and ramen with the bone broth. This was such an easy meal prep to make some 30-60min weeknight meals. Thanks for the inspiration!

    kenji I love your videos and especially this budget conscious take on using your ingredients! one time you mentioned doing a video about cutting techniques for different vegetables. is that something you still plan to do? I think a lot of us are exploring home cooking as a cost saving measure so this technique instruction would be awesome if you did put it out there. appreciate you! thanks!

    That bone pull out was damn satisfying. I recently saw that a store near me had some pre-cooked pulled beef/pork that you just kinda finish in the oven and mix in some bbq sauce and stuff and I tried it since it was at like half price and it wasn't bad but I'll definitely be making my own in the near future now lol

    @mixpadge Před rokem

    Kenji. I loved this video. Did it. and have done it and keep finding more ways to play with this recipe. I did some cabbage and the pork in a teriyaki sauce and that was insanely good. I'd love more like this where we make something and can make more from it. It has also sparked my imagination in different ways i can make it.
    My request would be with beans. Maybe a massive pot of beans, lets talk about how to not get bored with your pot of beans when you make a large pot.
    Maybe pintos (or bolitas, which are even so hard to find in New Mexico now), black beans, kidneys. something else that is pretty common and cheap.
    Your content is just amazing and I always learn so much. I also love seeing you get the doggo taste test. I wish hope and health to you and your family this new year.

    Hey Kenji, been experimenting with pulled pork for a while and I have to say your method was the easiest I've ever done. Meat was butter smooth I was actually really proud of how it turned out. I didn't even bother searing the meat. It stayed 2 days in the fridge with the rub all over it. So much flavor damn !!! Can't wait to eat some more tomorrow lol.
    Thanks for what you do.

    One thing I have noticed with pork shoulder is I can't really pressure cook it to easily shred like other meats. Slow cooking it comes out perfectly fine, but pressure cooking comes out too tough to easily shred when I do pork shoulders. Love the videos Kenji! Can't wait to get my signed copy of The Wok for Christmas and see your puns you wrote for me!

    • @NekoIan66

    this has become one of my food prep staples, and to be honest, i often go even plainer than the bbq rub here so it can be used in basically everything lol. salt, whole peppercorns, a small dried chile or two, msg, a couple bay leaves, and some allspice berries. sure it takes a good amount of time but then theres meat for AT LEAST the whole week lol.
