Kalua-Style Pork & Rice
Pork shoulder cooks slowly with garlic and liquid smoke, then is shredded and served with rice and vinegar-dressed cabbage.
Serves 4
Directions
Pat the pork dry, rub with the salt, and place in the slow cooker with the garlic.
Mix the liquid smoke with the broth and pour around the pork. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours.
When the meat pulls apart easily, transfer to a board and rest for 10 minutes. Pull into pieces, discarding large pockets of fat.
Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid. Return the pork to the cooker and moisten with enough juices to coat it.
Dissolve the sugar in the rice vinegar and toss with the cabbage. Let stand for 10 minutes while warming the rice.
Serve the pork over rice with the cabbage alongside. Spoon a little cooking liquid over the meat.
