Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pork
Start by rinsing the pork shoulder under cold water to remove any impurities. Pat it dry with paper towels.
- 2
Season the Pork
Rub the Hawaiian sea salt generously all over the pork shoulder, ensuring that it covers the entire surface. This will help enhance the flavor and create a nice crust during cooking.
- 3
Add Liquid Smoke
Drizzle the liquid smoke over the seasoned pork and rub it in to ensure even distribution.
Cooking
- 4
Slow Cook the Pork
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into a slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water to the slow cooker, which will help keep the meat moist during cooking. Cover with a lid.
- 5
Set the Cooking Time
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- 6
Shred the Pork
Once cooked, remove the pork shoulder from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- 7
Serve
Transfer the shredded pork back to the slow cooker with the juices and mix well. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions if desired, alongside Hawaiian rolls.
