Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 pounds pork shoulder or butt
- salt and pepper
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- ½ cup chicken stock, or vegetable stock
- ⅓ cup gochujang
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
- Pat dry the pork shoulder with paper towels, if needed.
- Generously season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper.
- Mix together the chicken stock, gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey in a bowl.
- Add the onions and garlic to the bottom of the slow cooker and place the pork shoulder on top. Pour the gochujang mixture on top.
- Cook for 4-6 hours on high heat or 8-10 hours on low heat.
- When done, shred pork with two forks directly in the slow cooker and let sit for 10 minutes, allowing the pork to soak up the liquid.
- Place the shredded pork on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1 cup of the liquid from the slow cooker over the shredded pork.
- Broil for 5 to 10 minutes or until the pork becomes golden brown and crispy around the edges. You might need to do this twice to fit all the shredded pork if it does not all fit.
- Serve immediately.
