Ingredients

Method

1.

Preheat oven 160°C/140°C fan forced.

2.

Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Make several deep incisions into the thickest part of the meat.

3.

Place lemongrass, chillies, ginger and soy sauce into a large, heavy-based, oven-proof dish with lid; stir to combine. Add pork and toss to coat in marinade. Pour over cooking wine and ½ cup (125ml) water. Place a sheet of crumpled baking paper over pork, and cover dish with lid.

4.

Cook for 4 hours or until pork is tender.

5.

Shred the pork with two forks. Serve pork with brioche buns, mayonnaise and dressed salad.

This recipe can also be made in a slow cooker on a low heat for 8 hours. A large cut of meat is necessary for such a long cook. Leftovers from this recipe can be frozen or used as a filling for lunch wraps or after-school jaffles.
