Description

Inspired by the luaus in Hawaii, I set out to make an easy, tasty slow-cooker version of kalua pork. The meat is fall-off-the-bone yummy. This recipe is not overly smoky, but you may add more smoke if you like. Serve with rice, buns, or poi.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 (5 pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
  • ½ large head cabbage, shredded
Directions
  1. 1. Mix kosher salt, black pepper, and ground ginger in a bowl; rub evenly into surface of pork roast; place seasoned roast in a slow cooker.
  2. 2. Stir soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke together in a bowl; pour over the pork roast.
  3. 3. Cook on Low 10 hours. Add cabbage to the pork and sauce in the slow cooker; cook another 30 minutes. Shred pork to serve.
