Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the slow cooker, then pour the sauce mixture evenly over the pork.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and transfer it to a large cutting board or bowl. Shred the pork using two forks.
Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid in the slow cooker, then return the shredded pork to the liquid. Stir to combine and ensure the pork is well-coated in the sauce.
Serve the Seven Flavor Slow Cooked Pork over rice, in tacos, or as a filling for sandwiches. Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh burst of flavor.
