Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and score the meat to allow the rub to penetrate.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork

    Rub the Hawaiian sea salt all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Add Liquid Smoke

    Drizzle the liquid smoke over the seasoned pork, making sure to cover all areas.

  4. 4

    Wrap the Pork

    If using banana leaves, wrap the pork shoulder in the leaves to keep it moist during cooking.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pork

    Place the wrapped pork shoulder in a slow cooker or a roasting pan. Cook on low for 10-12 hours or until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Shred and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the cooker, shred it using two forks, and serve it warm.
