Step 11

American Pulled Pork and Coleslaw Rice Bowls โ€” Serve pulled pork bowls

Step 12

Serve pulled pork bowls

Serve pulled pork bowls. Use 300 g white rice, 1000 g pork shoulder, 350 g cabbage, 1 carrot. Serve immediately with hot rice and pork distinct from the cold slaw so the temperature and texture contrast remains.

Common mistakes

  1. Crowding the pork during browning leaves it grey and weakens the gravy flavour.
  2. Pulling the pork while fierce steam is rising risks burns and produces uneven shreds.
  3. Mixing hot pork into the cold slaw too early wilts the cabbage.

Tips

Braise until a fork enters easily while the pork fibres remain moist.

Keep the hot rice and pork separate from the cold crisp slaw in every bowl.
