Method
Prepare the Rice
- 1
Cook the Jasmine Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to low heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Season and Slow Cook the Pork
Rub the pork shoulder with Hawaiian sea salt, black pepper, and liquid smoke. Place in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Once cooked, shred the pork and keep warm.

Make the Gravy
In a saucepan, combine beef broth, soy sauce, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Once the broth is simmering, slowly whisk in the slurry and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Build the Loco Moco Bowl
