Main Ingredients

Optional Garnishes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks (about 2-3 inches).

  2. 2

    Mix the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, water, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Marinate the Pork

    Add the pork shoulder chunks to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 4

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and brown it on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Once browned, pour the marinade over the pork in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Serving

  1. 6

    Shred and Serve

    Remove the pork from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot to soak up the sauce.

  2. 7

    Garnish

    Serve the shoyu pork in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and additional sliced green onions if desired.
