Steps:

• For the sticky pork: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork butt with salt and pepper. Add the pork to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes each side, 15 to 20 minutes total. Remove the pork to a plate and set aside. Leave any rendered fat in the pot and place it back on the stovetop.
• Add the garlic and onions to the pot and cook until the onions have softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the apple juice, deglazing the bottom of the pot. Scrape all the browned bits from the bottom. Add the applesauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and vinegar and stir together. Carefully return the pork to the pot and cover. Transfer the pot to the oven and braise until the pork is very tender, about 3 hours.
• For the apple saw: Meanwhile toss the cabbage, carrots, green onions and apples in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, honey, vinegar and salt in a small bowl until well combined. Add the dressing to the apple mixture and toss until well coated.
• When the pork is ready, carefully remove the lid and serve straight from the pot. Use a fork and a knife to slice and serve with the braising liquid and the slaw alongside.

CANTONESE SWEET AND STICKY BBQ PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, hoisin, ketchup, oyster sauce, sherry, ginger, five-spice powder, and food coloring, if using. Set the marinade aside.
• Place the pork chops in a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the pork. Let the pork marinate while you prepare the salad or up to overnight in the refrigerator. (The longer it marinates, the better the flavor.)
• Transfer the pork marinade to a small saucepan. Stir in the honey until completely combined. Bring to a boil and reserve this sauce for serving.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat until hot, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Wipe excess marinade from the pork chops. Grease the grill or grill pan with vegetable oil right before adding the chops. Grill the chops until golden brown with some grill marks on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chops over and cook until the internal temperature reaches about 145 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for at least 8 minutes. Smother the chops with some of the reserved sauce, slice into 1/2-inch wide pieces then drizzle with some more of the sauce. Serve with the apple and arugula salad.
• For the salad: Peel, quarter, core and thinly slice the apples. Combine with the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl.
• For the dressing: Combine all of the ingredients in a mason jar and shake vigorously. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as needed.
• Toss the salad with the dressing and serve immediately.
