Momofuku Bo Ssam

Ingredients

  • 1 whole pork shoulder (an underrated, inexpensive cut)
  • equal parts sugar and salt, for the overnight cure
  • brown sugar, for the glaze slurry

Directions

  • Cure the pork shoulder overnight in equal parts sugar and salt.
  • Roast low and slow at 225°F for 10 to 12 hours, until it is meltingly juicy and tender.
  • Let it rest for about an hour.
  • Coat the shoulder in a slurry of brown sugar.
  • Roast at very high heat to caramelize the sugar into a deep, charred crust, then serve.
  • Variation: to make steaks out of it, cook at about 170°F for 12 to 16 hours.
