Thai Pulled Pork Sliders instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small skillet, simmer the curry paste with the fish sauce and 1/4 cup of the palm sugar over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and a smooth paste forms. Let cool slightly..
- Season the pork with salt and rub it all over the curry paste. Set the pork in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Cover and roast, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until the meat is very tender about 3 1/2 hrs. Uncover and roast until a golden-brown crust forms, about 15 extra minutes..

Set the packet seam side up directly on a burner or in a cast-iron skillet. Cook over moderate heat until aromatic and beginning to smoke, about 5 minutes.
