    Pressure-Cooker Bo Ssam Sandwiches

    This will put all other pork sandwiches to shame. The Korean-inspired barbecue sauce provides a savory backdrop to the bright, fresh flavors of cilantro and pickles.

That's where the pork fat and sugar transform the soft shreds into wonderful crispy bits. —Kelly Burnham, Palmdale, California
