To prepare, simply heat the pulled pork. You can do this in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through. Alternatively, you can heat it in the microwave according to package directions, usually on high power for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. For a crispier texture, you can spread the heated pork on a baking sheet and broil it for a short time. It is best to avoid overheating, which can make the pork dry.
