Main Ingredients

Rice

Method

Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a large slow cooker, place the pork shoulder. Rub the Hawaiian sea salt all over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Pour the liquid smoke over the pork and add the water.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork. Once cooked, shred the pork using two forks and mix it with the juices in the cooker.

Cabbage Slaw Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large mixing bowl, shred the green cabbage and add the grated carrot and chopped green onions.

  2. 4

    Mix the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  3. 5

    Combine Slaw

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until all the vegetables are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Rice Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 7

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
