To prepare, simply open the pouch and heat the shredded pork. You can warm it in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it is heated through.

This eliminates the need for slow cooking, shredding, and seasoning from scratch, saving significant preparation time. The seasoning is pre-applied, offering a consistent flavor profile in every serving.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain freshness and quality. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent the pork from drying out or absorbing other odors.
