as a side dish to all kinds of salads, cold and warm dishes, juicy and buttery soft, simmered at 95 °C,

Clean the ginger root, onions, and vegetables and cut them into large cubes. Sear the smoked pork on all sides in a greased roasting pan. Then remove the pan and set it aside, covered. Sauté the diced vegetables in the frying fat until caramelized. After about 5 minutes, stir in the mustard, paprika and tomato paste, and curry paste and caramelize. When everything is golden brown, deglaze with the stock and soy sauce, loosening any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Place the seared meat on the bed of vegetables. Cook the smoked pork in the covered roasting pan until simmering below boiling point. At this temperature, the meat becomes particularly soft and tender, as the fatty tissue and tendons slowly dissolve, developing delicious flavors. After about 2 hours and 30 minutes, the roast is cooked and can be removed from the sauce. Let the meat rest for about 5 minutes. During this time, the meat relaxes and the juices distribute evenly. This roast is then ready for the buffet, cold or hot. Strain the stock and, if necessary, store it in a screw-top jar while it’s still boiling for later use.
