I made an Asian rice bowl with freshly smoked pork shoulder. What are your unconventional uses for leftover smoked meat?

This morning I made a smoked Tri tip breakfast burrito and tonight I think I’m gonna toss the rest of it in some fried rice

Might not be that unconventional but for something quick I’ll dice up whatever I smoked and make Zataran’s Red Beans and Rice.

I always make my shoulders into smothered sweet pork burritos

Pulled pork Benedict

– on top of egg with some hot sauce/sour cream
– make fried rice and toss in the meat
– sandwiches (cuban sandwiches with the port, sometimes with spam or taylor ham instead of regular ham)
– toss in ramen (buldak or any instant rame, sometimes the brown rice/millet ramen from costco)
– bbq sandwiches with some slaw
– quesadeas
– toss it over mac and cheese (or cauliflower mac and cheese) with some bbq sauce

I do this same thing with ramen. It’s delicious

I put some pulled pork from my last smoked shoulder on a cookie sheet and heated it in the oven for 10 minutes until it caramelized and turned it into tacos (carnitas).

Oh man. Pulled pork tacos. And now I’m hungry.

Brisket sweet potato hash is always a winner at my house.

Fried rice. I made a brisket yesterday and when I sliced it, I took a chunk off specifically for fried rice

Any time I do chicken thighs, I do them in bulk. That’s a seriously versatile leftover. Works great in ramen or with other pasta, in quesadillas, tacos, etc. also fantastic on a sandwich. My favorite is to make some sushi rice and sous vide some eggs to pasteurize the yolks. Throw the chicken (or other meat) in with some diced and sautéed green onions, minced garlic, water chestnuts, and baby corn. Two pasteurized yolks per bowl. Drizzle some Japanese bbq sauce and go to town.
Pretty much the same for pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. As long as you stay fairly neutral (cuisine-wise) in your seasoning, leftover protein can be reshaped into any number of dishes.

I put them on snack bags and freeze flat for 30 seconds microwave protein snacks.

I’ve tried pulled beef for the first time a few months ago and I don’t think I’ll ever look at pork butts the same. Made it a few times since. Just thick chuck roasts from Costco with a coat of holy cow and Lawry’s. Smoked like a shoulder until 160 then put in a dutch oven with a cup of hot sauce, cup of fav BBQ sauce and a few cups of beef stock until finish. I’ve found it takes a higher temp to hit the pull apart tenderness about 210. Separate the liquid after and shred, add some liquid back in after pulled. A little bit dryer than butts but that beef flavor is fuckin amazing.
Leftover we have been using it in tacos, or on top of a bowl homemade Mac n cheese or a bed of Puerto Rican style rice (don’t ask me my wife makes it she’s from PR. I know it’s not pork butt but we do the same for those leftovers as well just wanted to comment and maybe someone who hasn’t tried it might give it a shot.

I just discovered how amazing baked sweet potatoes are. Throw in some on pulled pork and coleslaw, perfect meal. Also nachos if we want something unhealthy

We use left over bbq for fried rice all the time — pulled pork or smoked chicken thighs make a fantastic fried rice.

Smoked pork shoulder in Babi Ketjap
This is a random recipe of it from the web. Different recipes around.
For example i don’t use oystersauce. And I tend to add lemongrass besides the ginger for some freshness to balance out the sweet.
The addition of smoked pork shoulder elevated it to another level. 😋😋🤤

Breakfast bowls with eggs, sweet potatoes, beans, onions, cheese and salsa. Breakfast burritos. Smoked pork shoulder noodle soup – like chicken noodle but better especially w/ home made smoked chicken broth from the most recently smoked chickens’ carcasses.

Pork nachos!

Well now it’s to make a rice bowl the next time I do pulled pork. I have a pretty extensively stocked pantry when it comes to east Asian cuisines so that sounds like it would be great.

I like to make what I call faux Bahn mi. So a pulled pork sandwich on a roll, but with some Bahn mi flavors in there: picked carrots and jalapeño, pate if I’ve got it, and I make a quick spicy sauce of mayo and sambal mixed.

Fried rice is our most common use for leftover smokings. Quesadillas are great too.

Fried rice is my favorite. Recently I’ve been using riced cauliflower instead of actual rice and it’s still really delicious

I cubed my leftover smoked pork tenderloin and had it on a salad Caesar dressing. Delish!

Would you be able to share how you smoked the pork shoulder? What rubs? What temperature for how long? Fully wrapped or unwrapped? I’m trying to learn
