SLOW-COOKER PULLED PORK WITH FRIED SHALLOTS AND CHILES

Steps:

• For the pulled pork: Combine the pork, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, chipotle powder, lager, 3 tablespoons vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt and the onions in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on high power for 6 hours.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred using two forks. Transfer to a bowl and add enough of the liquid from the slow cooker to generously moisten. Stir in the scallions and a splash of vinegar and season with salt to taste.
• For the fried shallots and chiles: Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet and set aside. Add enough oil to a medium saucepan to fill by 2 inches. Over medium heat, bring the oil to 340 degrees F. Meanwhile, put the egg whites in a medium bowl and whisk with a fork until frothy. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the chili powder, cumin and some salt and pepper. In batches, add the chiles and shallots to the bowl of egg whites and toss to coat. Remove from the egg whites, allowing excess liquid to drain off, then place into the flour. Put the coated chiles and shallots onto the prepared cooling rack. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with celery salt.
• Serve the pulled pork topped with fried shallots and chiles, or assemble into sandwiches:
• Add the pulled pork to 6 slices of bread, then top with fried chiles and shallots, pickles and the remaining 6 slices bread.

• Turn meat and bake 7 minutes longer.
• Remove the meat and brush with the honey mixed with the red food color.
• Return to the oven for 10 minutes, or until done.
• Cut the meat crosswise into thin slices and serve either hot or cold.

CHINESE BRAISED PORK WITH DOUBLE SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Brown the pork on both sides in the oil, then transfer it to a large casserole dish. Deglaze the pan you used for browning with the rice wine or Sherry and add it to the casserole. Add the ginger and garlic. Trim the ends off the 8 fat spring onions and add these to the pan whole along with the chilli, stock, miso paste (if using) and soy sauce. Bring everything to a simmer, then cover and put the casserole in the oven for 2 hrs.
• Remove the lid from the casserole and cook for a further 20 mins. Chop the 4 thinner spring onions and add them to the casserole just before serving with steamed rice and bok choi.
