HOW TO MAKE ASIAN PULLED PORK? IT ’S

SO EASY!

Our easy recipe for Asian pulled pork is roasted for about 4 hours, our

sauce cooks down into the pulled pork and what comes out of the oven is

truly one of the best Asian pulled pork recipes ever. The sauce has

freshly ginger, onions, garlic, crushed tomatoes, chili garlic sauce, brown

sugar, mustard and the all-important fish sauce! Yes, all these amazing

ingredients cook down to a sauce that you won’t want to waste. That’s

why everyone is crazy about this pulled pork recipe. The flavors are deep,

full of umami and so rich, it’s hard too resist eating 2-3 portions. It’s a

saucy pulled pork that’s perfect for tacos, sandwiches, sliders and so

much more.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE PULLED

PORK IN THE OVEN?

After about 4 hours, the oven roast pork butt (or pork shoulder) is super tender and shreds easily with just two forks. As we shred the pork, it literally just falls apart and we keep it in the sauce. The pork soaks up the sauce and that’s what gives the extra juicy-ness and flavor. Sometimes folks are scared to use the fish sauce but please don’t fear the fish sauce! Sure, it has a strong stench when you’re making the sauce. But when it cooks down into the pork, you don’t smell it anymore and what it becomes is a delicious and flavorful combination of all the spices cooked together. If you’re still a little sketchy, then you can certainly use soy sauce and the results are still delicious.

• COVID 19 spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, sings, or yells. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Currently there is no vaccine to prevent coronavirus. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing serious complications from COVID-19 illness.

• To reduce the spread of COVID 19, the Surgeon General and the CDC recommend that people wear mask that cover both their nose and mouth while in public settings and when a 6 ft. social distance is difficult to maintain. Austria imposed mandatory face masks and within 2 weeks had a 90% reduction in COVID cases.

• It is very important to wear your mask properly. Put it over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin. Try to have it fit snugly against your face. Avoid touching the mask with your hands. Put it on and take it off using the ear straps. Wash your hands prior to handling the mask and after you take it off.

• Be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Protect yourself and others by wearing a face mask when possible contact with others is likely.

Currently, as many as 5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’sdisease, and millions more are faced with the financial and emotional challenges of caring for a loved one with the disease. If current trends

continue, Alzheimer’s will bankrupt families, and communities and our healthcare system.

The Alzheimer's Association the leading voluntary organization in Alzheimer research, care and support, is dedicated to finding prevention

methods, treatments and an eventual cure for the disease.

We plan to raise at least $5000.00 to support the Alzheimer's Association. I know we can do this with your support. In our efforts to raise money we

would like to involve the community with a 2-person best ball golf tournament fundraiser. If you would like to sign up, please call the Laurens
