SLOW COOKER HAWAIIAN PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Trim a majority of the fat from the pork shoulder and place it in the slow cooker.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken stock, pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker, cover it and set it to LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 5 hours.
• Once the pork shoulder is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F, transfer it to a cutting board and pour half of the liquid from the slow cooker into a medium saucepan (discard the rest of the liquid).
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water.
• Once the sauce has come to a boil, whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue boiling it until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and is the consistency of syrup.
• Using two forks, shred the pork shoulder then transfer it to a large bowl. Add the pineapple then pour in the sauce and toss to combine.

HAWAIIAN STYLE SLOW COOKER KALUA PORK

Steps:

• Rinse and pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towel, do not trim off excess fat and place in the slow cooker.
• Pierce all over with a fork, pour the liquid smoke evenly over the roast and sprinkle liberally with the sea salt.
• Place the lid of the slow cooker on and set the time for eight to twelve hours on LOW.
• Check at about eight hours for doneness. If not done let go the full 12 hours, checking every hour.
• If you have used banana leaves you can remove them before shredding the pork.
• Remove around 2 cups of liquid (500ml) and set aside. This should be most of the cooking liquid removed. Shred the pork with forks and then add some of the liquid back in to keep the pork from drying out. You might not add all the liquid back in, save it for storing the pork if there are leftovers.
• The pork should be kept warm-hot in the liquid before serving. You can place the banana leaves on a platter then serve the pork on top of them or use fresh banana leaves for serving. Do not eat the banana leaves.
• The pork saves well kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer, keep some of the cooking liquid with it. Thaw in refrigerator if frozen. It can be reheated on low in the slow cooker.
