Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut the cabbage into quarters and slice it into thin strips. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    In a large slow cooker, place half of the sliced cabbage at the bottom. Then, place the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the cabbage. Pour the liquid smoke over the pork and top with the remaining cabbage.

    Add Water

    Pour 1 cup of water into the slow cooker to create steam during cooking.
