Hawaiian Pulled Pork Slow Cooker Sandwich### Ingredients

  • 4 lbs pork shoulder (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)
  • 8 hamburger buns
  • Pineapple slices (for topping)
  • Coleslaw (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the pork shoulder. If it’s bone-in, trim excessive fat but keep some for flavor.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and pour the pineapple mixture over the top, ensuring it is well-coated.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  5. Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker to soak up the flavorful sauce.
  6. Toast your hamburger buns lightly, if desired, then pile on the pulled pork. Top with pineapple slices and coleslaw, if using.
  7. Serve your Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches warm and enjoy the sweet and savory experience!
