Directions

Rub meat with 5-spice, salt and pepper. Stir remaining ingredients in a heavy-bottomed pot; add the seasoned meat. Bring up to a simmer over medium heat, cover and braise in a 300°F (150ºC) oven for 2 ½ hours, until meat pulls away easily with a fork. Remove excess fat; reduce sauce over medium heat until it coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning. To serve, slice pork and spoon sauce over, or shred pork with a fork and toss with sauce to coat. Try this is over noodles, stir-fried vegetables or rice.

*This dish uses the shoulder “capicola” cut but could also utilize the boneless leg.
**Chinese 5-spice powder can be found in the spice section of most grocery stores, or in Asian food stores.
