Soy-Da Glazed Pulled Pork

8 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • 1 bone-in pork shoulder (about 5 pounds), fat cap scored
  • 2 cups orange soda
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, zested

Directions

  1. 1
    For the pork: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. 2
    Rub the brown sugar, salt and pepper all over the pork.
  3. 3
    Place on a baking sheet, cover with a layer of parchment and then seal over the top with aluminum foil.
  4. 4
    Roast for 3 hours.
  5. 5
    For the soy-da glaze: In a small saucepan, simmer the orange soda, soy sauce, crushed red pepper and garlic until reduced by half.
  6. 6
    Set aside.
  7. 7
    Remove the pork from the oven, uncover and drain any liquid fat.
  8. 8
    Brush the soy-da glaze all over the pork and continue to roast, re-glazing every 30 minutes, until the pork is well browned, fork-tender and the meat pulls away from the bone (and registers 200 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer), 1 to 2 more hours.
  9. 9
    Transfer the pork to a large dish and let rest 20 minutes before pulling.
  10. 10
    For even more crispiness, pull the meat, mix with the remaining glaze and broil on a baking sheet until extra crispy, 3 to 5 minutes!
