Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11/2 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 11/4 cup sugar
  • 14 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 11/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 16 radishes, julienned or grated
  • 12 carrots, julienned or grated
  • 12 pounds (about 5 cups) shredded Brown Sugar BBQ Pork Butt
  • 12 heads Boston or Bibb lettuce, leaves separated
  • 12 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 13 cups cooked short-grain rice
  • 1Sriracha hot sauce (for serving)
  • 112 shucked raw oysters (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl. Add radishes and carrots and let stand at least 10 minutes. (Reserve half of the pickled veggies for Pork Banh Mi with Quick-Pickled Radishes and Carrots later in the week.)

  2. Preheat oven to 250°F. Place pork in a roasting pan with a few tablespoons of water. Cover with foil and rewarm pork until hot, 20–25 minutes.

  3. Transfer pork to a platter. Serve with lettuce, scallions, rice, Sriracha, oysters (if using), and remaining pickled radishes and carrots alongside.

  4. The quick-pickled radishes and carrots can be made up to 3 days in advance.
