Asian Pulled Pork Recipe

It’s been a busy month and all we were hoping for was to sit on the couch. Read. Watch Football. And eat this killer sweet and sriracha spicy oven roast pulled pork. Honestly, to keep life simple and sweet, all we need is our garden of fruit trees and an occasional pulled pork dinner.

A few years ago we shared our favorite juicy Asian oven roast pulled pork recipe. Your response was positively pork-happy outstanding. Thanks for making this recipe and loving it just as much as we do.

We’ve making another favorite oven roast pulled pork, but this time it has all the sweet and sriracha spicy flavors in every bite. The pulled pork is tender and we bake it a little longer to get that delicious sticky, caramel flavor. Sure,  you can cook it a little less, but if you give it a little more oven love, you’ll get some seriously mouth watering flavor that will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.

Sweet and Sriracha Spicy Oven Roast Pulled Pork

Recipe adapted from our other Juicy Asian Oven Roast Pulled Pork Recipe.
You can use this pulled pork for tacos, sliders and sandwiches. It's also great on pasta and rice because the sauce is so flavorful. Feel free to cook the pulled pork for a little longer to make the pork more tender and melt-in-your-mouth. Also, when cooking the pork a little longer, the sauce becomes a dark brown. This caramel flavor that comes from cooking down the sauce is awesome.
You can make adjustments on the sweet/spicy level of the sauce by adding more brown sugar or sriracha. Just taste the marinade before you pour it over the pork.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 pounds pork butt or pork shoulder (1.4-2.25kg)
  • oil to coat pork
  • fresh cracked black pepper to coat pork

For the sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (15ml)
  • 1 onion , diced
  • 5 cloves garlic , minced
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce (227g)
  • 3 Tablespoons fish sauce or soy sauce (45ml)
  • 1/4 cup Sriracha hot sauce (60ml) or to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar (15ml) or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup hoisin (120ml)
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar (15ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (3ml)

Instructions 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Then add oil, onion and garlic. Cook onions and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, fish sauce or soy sauce, Sriracha, vinegar, hoisin, brown sugar and black pepper. Gently stir the sauce and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. After the sauce has cooled, you can taste it and decide if you want to add more Sriracha.
  • Heat large cast iron pan or deep oven proof skillet on medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pork shoulder with oil and season all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Sear each side of the pork shoulder on the hot pan until the pork is brown. About 3-5 minutes per side.
    Remove the pan or skillet from the heat and lay the pork in the pan.
  • Pour the sriracha-tomato sauce mixture over the pork into the oven proof pan. Cover the pork with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the pork for about 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
    Note: we like to cook our pork butt a little longer until the sriracha-tomato sauce cooks down and becomes darker. This rich, caramel flavor is fantastic.
  • Allow the pork to rest for about 15 minutes before shredding the whole shoulder. Keep foil over the shredded pork to keep it warm before serving
