Hi Nagi, I’ve been searching your recipes to put together a menu for my dad’s 80th birthday party and came across this show stopper! I’d already flagged to make some salads (no mayo slaw, best potato salad, jp’s iceberg salads). Will these work? Otherwise I’d love to hear what GF options you’d pair this with as part of a banquet . Thanks!

I had been saving this recipe for a very long time, waiting for an occasion to make it and it finally came! Made this for 10 people yesterday and everyone absolutely loved it.
Had a 3.3kg (7.2 lbs) boneless pork butt and the plate was wiped clean.
We didn’t do the oysters this time around but will definitely try next time.
Info that others might find useful:
– I hesitated to adapt the cooking time to the fact that my meat was boneless, in the end opted not to. Cooked it the whole 5 hours and it was perfect, even though it had to rest over an hour between the first cook and the final browning
– Brining time was 36 hours. I am VERY sensitive to salt but trusted Nagi and used exactly the amount prescribed for the brine (I use Crystal Diamond Kosher Salt). I only skipped the additional salt in the brown sugar crust. Ended up being perfect and not too salty at all.
– I wish I had made at least 1.5 times the amount of scallion & ginger and ssam sauces. Those were gone before we finished the meat.
– This dish is incredibly good and impressive compared to the actual effort you have to put into it. If you want to blow people’s mind, this is THE recipe for you 🙂

So this meal. I’ve made it twice now. The first time I had my father in law in tears. He said he’d never eaten anything this delicious in his entire life!
The second time round I made it for a crowd of 12 people and my 4yo nephew just couldn’t get enough of it. He really got into rolling his little salad wraps and devoured so much meat. Thank you Nagi for a new family favourite! It’s easy and delicious!

This recipe is so delicious. It has become a staple in our meal rotation. I make it regularly for my family, friends and also large get togethers and each time gets rave reviews. The meat is tender and moist. Best of all, it is so easy to make. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
