Char Siu Pork Shoulder

Ingredients

  • 1 kg pork shoulder
  • 250 g shoyu tare

Instructions

  • Clean the pork shoulder, remove any tough sinew or bits of bone that may still be attached.
  • Add the pork to your stock and allow for it to simmer for 4 hours. Depending on the size of your pork, this may take longer. Check the tenderness with a knife test. If the knife slides out with ease, then your pork is tender enough. If not, allow an extra 30 minutes before checking again.
  • Place your pork in your Shoyu tare and allow for it to marinate for at least 1-2 hours.
  • Slice up that pork shoulder against the grain and serve with ramen.
  • If you own a circulator (for sous vide), sous vide with the shoyu tare for 4-6 hours at  64degrees Celsius or 147.5 Fahrenheit.
