PULLED PORK AND VEGGIE RICE BOWL

Steps:

• For the pulled pork: Using a sharp knife, score the fat cap into a crosshatch pattern. Rub the entire shoulder with the barbecue rub. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight (this step can be skipped, but it really makes the pork super tasty, so try to plan ahead!).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce and 1 cup water. Place the pork in a 6-quart slow cooker and pour the sauce around it. Set the slow cooker to low for 8 hours and cover. Let it roll!
• For the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain. Combine the rice, salt and 3 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir once to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom. Cover and simmer on very low for about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat with the COVER STILL ON. Let sit for 20 minutes. Fluff before serving.
• Once the pork is extremely fork tender, position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the broiler on low. Transfer the pork, fat-side up, to a baking sheet. Reserve the cooking liquid. Dust the pork with a little more rub and broil until the fat is crispy, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Remove the crispy fat and set aside. Shred the meat with 2 forks and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle it with some of the cooking liquid. Keep warm until ready to assemble the bowls.
• For the bowl: Spray a small bowl with nonstick spray. Pack some rice in the bowl, then turn the molded rice out into a larger bowl to make a beautiful dome of rice. Add a nice portion of pork and some pork fat on the side of the rice. Fan the avocado in the bowl, then arrange the carrots and pineapple separately on the rice. Sprinkle the meat with extra barbecue rub and a drizzle of the reserved cooking liquid. Repeat making 3 more bowls.

ICE BOWLS

Steps:

• Arrange 6 larger plastic bowls (1 1/2-pint) in a large baking pan and fill each with 1/3 cup springwater. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
• Put smaller bowls (1-pint) inside larger bowls, centering them. Tape the 2 bowls together at the top in 3 places to keep the smaller bowl from moving. Arrange 5 to 7 pea sprouts in the space between the bowls, positioning them with a chopstick or skewer, then carefully pour in 1/3 cup springwater, making sure that sprouts are submerged. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
• Repeat layering of sprouts (you will need about 3 ounces) and water and freezing until the ice level is 1/4 inch from the top of each bottom bowl. Remove the tape, pour warm water into top bowls and let stand about 1 minute before removing top bowls. Dip bottom bowls in a bowl of warm water about 1 minute and turn out ice bowls. Put ice bowls on 2 1/2-inch squares of paper towel centered on 6 small plates. Freeze bowls on plates about 1 hour.
• Available at specialty produce markets and natural foods stores.
