Bo ssam from What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking (page 238) by Caroline Chambers

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This was great. It takes as long as the famous momofuku version, but feels a little more streamlined. She says in a footnote that it’s better to apply the rub a day in advance, and imo it makes a big enough difference in flavor that the overnight brine is not optional for me. Kids and grownups alike enjoyed this since any spicy stuff is served on the side.

    A bit flavorless. Pork was tender and cooked well. Worked for leftovers
