Pulled Pork Part 5: Crispy Sandwiches | Kenji's Cooking Show 

Poor, sweet Jamon sitting in the corner. What a good dog. We all miss Shabu's chomps at the ends of videos too.

I'm personally looking forward to part 75 where Kenji shows us how to land a spacecraft on the moon using only leftover pulled pork. Fr though love this series ♥️

As the mom of a toddler, where both my husband and I have full time jobs, and we actually use and live in our house (and cook two meals a day) I am so grateful for and tickled by the real-life Kenji house. The Tripp-Trapp with splash mat, the water table and toys outside, the cookery and tools on the counters, and the sink where there is always something hanging to dry, etc... Thanks for normalizing it!

I can't believe I roasted a pork shoulder for the first time in my life last Monday, only to have this series come out just in time to tell me what to do with it all.

dude, this is the best series you've done -- it's incredibly practical and I'm really hoping you might do more of these

The Shabu emotions. I wasn’t ready.

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you so much for doing these.

Love this series! You make cooking so approachable! Thanks Kenji!

That is a spectacular technique. I always just warm it up but this adds a new level of texture with the crispy exterior. Thanks, Kenji!

This is a pretty standard method in Southern Illinois BBQ, people called Dixie Style Pork. The patties are kept a little thinner but just finished on a flat top like this.

Love, love, love, love this series! Just got home from the market with a Pork shoulder. You are such a gift to us, thanks Kenji!

Hi Kenji thanks for this series both economical (time and money) plus versatile! I'd love to see this leftover series continue!

Sir this whole pulled pork series has been amazing!

My heart breaks SO HARD for Jamon 💔😓

Dude! I’m loving this pulled pork video series!

Love your content thank you for all you continue to do!

Love the simplicity, and just the fact you cook in your house, and not in some fancy kitchen studio. Makes me feel at home. Huge fan of your content, and how you break down the knowledge of your recipes and fun facts. Keep em' comin' Kenji!

We all miss shabu 😢

You inspired me to roast a pork yesterday and I just tried this sammich-making method for lunch. All I can say is 10/10. Never thought to try this at all and now I’m hooked

Loving this leftovers series

Brilliant idea. I wish I would have seen this during the lockdowns when I was rich in deeply discounted duck legs from the Hudson Valley. The restaurants weren't able to use all of the legs that were being harvested and everyone at my Farmer's Market was getting the benefit of surplus. I would have been loading my plate with confit patties all week. Cheers.

I got into pulled pork through Meathead's book a few years ago but I've been grilling less and cooking inside more the last year and still love picking up a shoulder for things like tacos and pasta. I never stop enjoying learning new ways to use it: those burger-things will definitely get a tryout! I've also used leftover pulled pork in Scottish stovies (out of madness) and it was actually great - it's such a brilliant ingredient for accepting crispiness well.

Thanks for another great video.

Love your videos. 😊

Who *doesn't* miss Shabu?! And this look like a really nice sandwich that you could take in any direction. You could add so many different things to it. Love it! 👌

Loved this series so much! Any chance you'd do something similar with something like whole roast chicken?

Gave it a shot. Embedded bits of garlic, and mixed-in anchovy paste in one to see how that went. Served as inspired by you, relish/tomato and salsas on hard rolls. Didn't have a burger-press so it was helpful that you 'warned' they might disassemble 😉

Had one of the best meals of my life at Clio, when I stayed at the Eliot Suite Hotel. ❤

Kenji you are the best. As someone who has a few vacuum packs of BBQ pulled pork in their freezer, all of these videos have been amazing

Great use,will be doing this!prickled Fresnos in the frig…

That's a very neat trick

Nice! I was planning on smoking some pork shoulders for the holidays, so these'll definitely help the family out!

God damn it. I love you Kenji. I’m so sick of pulled pork sandwiches and you go and make this and I want to try this technique so bad.

Love deeply browning leftover pulled pork for tacos, salads and sandwiches. Not done a patty yet…

The hits just keep coming!

Hey Kenji, thanks for this great series. I have a question about the original pulled pork: your pork shoulder never seems to come with skin, whereas my butcher leaves the skin on -- do you recommend leaving the skin on or taking it off before going in the oven? Any ideas for what to do with the skin after cooking, in either case?

OMG... I have a gob of smoked pork shoulder... These vids are amazingly apropos!

Nice! Giving me crispy kalua pork sandwich ideas...

Interesting to see how you like these with the same exact toppings recommended for a Mississippi slug burger

What I love about this series is I often smoke a bunch of pork shoulder and have no idea what to do with the rest other than sandwiches

Delish! It pleases m greatly that kenji gets to eat each of these meals more than once. How long does the shredded shoulder last? A week?

Much more generous than me...those crispy bits are all mine!

I feel like a new cookbook is being written...

love the color of your shirt! :)

As a very young kid growing up we used to have two cats that were siblings and I remember one of the two dying quite early on due to a disease and for a good amount of time after he used to sit around the house similar to Jamon here. So sad to see but at least he's still getting some great snacks here and there

Now I'm upset the pork sandwich wasn't one of the star items... it sounds amazing! I need to try this style of sandwich, as I'm so familiar with the NC pulled pork style sandwich. I'm not a bbq "purist", if it's done well and tastes good, that's good bbq. Good BBQ can come from an oven, slow cooker, grill, or pit.

That looks great! You said to flip the spatula to scrape the patty off. I'm curious, why flip it?

Suggestion, pulled pork pho. Just made it for lunch and it was great.

Kenji, do you use separate cutting boards for meat, veggies, and fruit?

If you don't have a ring mold but you have a can of tuna, take off both ends of the can (though i'd only do this if you have the nice can opener that doesn't leave a sharp edge.

This is a great idea

First video I've ever seen on this channel - I totally love this concept. "I'm gonna stick a go-pro on my head and you can watch me cook, the whole time." Fantastic.

honey and soy sauce is a great combo for pulled pork

This is such a cool idea. I love pulled pork sandwiches but my only gripe with them was they'd fall apart on you. Can't wait to give this a try!

I bet that technique would make a really good cuban

does the pork shoulder freeze well?

I literally just tinished part 4. This might be the best day of my life

So the way J. Kenji deals with leftover pulled pork is, "put it in a cast iron skillet so it crisps up and you eat it with stuff". Very legit.

How long does pulled pork last in the fridge?

Next: Hawaiian style w/cabbage!!

Very nice recipe good 👍💯💯✔️😋🙏🌹🎁💞👏

I absolutely love this and I'm trying it next time I do pulled pork. Pulled pork burger, who woulda thunk. Maybe some Stubbs barbecue sauce instead of mustard?

This is a sandwich made popular by Local pig in KC and they call it " The pigwhich" its at least 6 years old.

I've named my ring molds "Molly Ring molds" I'll let myself out.

This reminds me of your old ribby mcribface video.

Pulled Pork Party playist please :)

A restaurant in my neighborhood, Pigwich, uses this method for their signature sandwich and it’s a great technique.

I miss shabu too

We all miss you Shabu 🥲

Okay, it took until the 5th video of this series, but now I’ll make some pulled pork. 😁

i know you’ve resigned yourself to the lighter but you can usually fix the igniter if you scrub off the oxidation from the burner element and the stove too. all it needs is a good conductive path. i fixed my range today doing just that. it happens because of the burning gas but also can be because the element gets overflowed with food stuff.

Come for the recipe, stay for the weird angry comments about nail polish.

How much pulled pork did this man make?

Why do you flip the spatula upside down when flipping the patties?

I think Jamone needs a new friend ;)

Bro your nails are like that one season of Dexter! Coincidence? Or do you watch Dexter?

I love how Kenji just assumes that there would be leftovers......... My fat ass just finishes everything

Mainly commenting for the algorithm, however, if you don't mind, any updates on Shabu? Been missing her. Hope everything's alright.

Ok, seriously, HOW MUCH PORK DID YOU MAKE?!

I have a question for you Mr. Lopez-Alt, do you have more consistent viewers that watch most of your vids or do the majority come from random people (Ik this is a really odd ?, I’m simply just curious bc of how the intro goes) if I had to guess I’d say all these people are just as obsessed as me and watch every single vid (I mean why wouldn’t they?!?)

McRib…mmm

Local place doesn’t do anything with the inside of the buns. It just feels wrong.

What happened to Shabu?

what happened to shabu

What happened to Shabu???

That looks like it's gonna cost $26 and comes with the optional spicy garlic aioli or whipped creamy cilantro mustard sauce and of course fries to clean up the mess

Shabu 😭

It always surprises me to see so many Chefs uses Frenches, when there are so many other better mustard's. What am I missing?

love the cute fingernails :33

where is shabu

Hi!

Gotta admire the dad nails.

Jamon T^T

Another idea also….pulled pork quesadilla’s with a side of sour cream. Your welcome.

Can you do something for us halal brothers ahahaha. I want to see like lamb leftovers or something like that.

Are you sick of eating pulled pork yet, Kenji?

If Hamoon is missing his best friend, get another dog please.

You are a traitor to the Bay Area! Not really...I was days was days away from driving to San Mateo when you moved on. I have ordered both of your books. My question is that Now that you are in Seattle, is there another restaurant on the way, or a current one?

nice nails

wasting a crispy bit on a dog that will inhale it in .1 seconds. thats a sin
