Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless pork shoulder
- 20 oz pineapple chunks (canned, with juice)
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- as needed steamed rice (for serving)
Instructions
Place the boneless pork shoulder in the bottom of your crock pot.
Add the pineapple chunks along with their juice to the crock pot.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Pour this mixture over the pork.
Scatter the sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion over the pork and sauce mixture.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Set shredded pork aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the liquid in the crock pot to thicken the sauce. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on HIGH until the sauce thickens.
Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and stir to coat it evenly in the sauce.
Serve the Hawaiian pork over steamed rice and garnish with sliced green onions. Enjoy!
