Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork shoulder
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice wine vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Water
- 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 1 Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks for easier cooking.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar. Whisk until combined.
Place the pork chunks in a slow cooker or heavy-bottomed pot and pour the sauce mixture over the top.
Cook covered for 1.5 hours on low heat or until the pork becomes tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
While the pork is cooking, make the sesame crepe batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, water, salt, sesame oil, and sesame seeds until you achieve a smooth batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with vegetable oil.
Pour a ladle of crepe batter (about 1/4 cup) into the skillet, swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin circle.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter.
Once the pork is done cooking, shred it using two forks and stir it back into the sauce to coat thoroughly.
Prepare the scallions and cucumber: slice them thinly into matchstick-sized pieces.
To assemble, place a sesame crepe flat on a plate. Add a portion of shredded pork, some sliced scallions, and cucumber matchsticks in the center.
Wrap the crepe tightly around the filling to create a roll. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
Serve warm and enjoy your Shredded Pork Wrapped in Sesame Crepes!
