My kids really loved this spin on pulled beef using Asian flavoring rather than the typical barbecue-style sauce. I served it over an angel hair lo mein and topped it with French-fried onions for added crunch. Faigy adapted my leftovers into a super-tasty lukshen kugel, chock-full of mushrooms and meat, which was a real hit.
