Korean BBQ Pulled Pork with Cornbread Topping

Well, we are two weeks in. 

How is your new year going? Does this mean we can get back to a regular eating schedule? I kid. Kind of. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that re-setting and starting the new year off feeling good is important.

BUT! I also believe in things of moderation. Yes, I may have a smoothie for breakfast but if you want me to not shank you in the middle of the night you can bet your sweet tookus I’m devouring things like this Korean BBQ Pulled Pork with Cornbread Topping.

You guys. I am obsessed with this Korean BBQ pulled pork. The flavors you get from the Bulgogi marinade might just beat some KC barbecue. Might. Don’t got hostile on me. You can find a collection of marinades and sauces at your local grocery store. I went with Bibigo brand simply because of volume and taste. I remember using this marinade when I testing recipes for the cookbook.

Once you’ve identified your favorite marinade pour it over boneless pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Set it and forget it. I will warn you when it’s done it’s really hard to not want to eat it straight out of the slow cooker. Be patient because once you put that cornbread topping on. OMG.

I might need to bring this dish to the mountains this weekend. Seriously, it would pair so well with the caramelized onion dip y’all recommended from Trader Joe’s. So glad I bought two containers because it’s amazing. Also, that green dragon sauce is the tits. 

And on that note, I hope y’all have a great Wednesday!
