How to Make Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons teriyaki mix, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Generously coat a 3-4 pound pork shoulder with the rub mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
- Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup chili sauce, and 1/2 cup pineapple juice.
- Set aside.
- Place 1 cup chopped onions and 1 cup chopped carrots in a 5-quart slow cooker.
- Place the pork shoulder on top of the vegetables. Pour half of the pineapple juice mixture over the pork.
- Reserve the remaining mixture for the Hawaiian sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the pork is easily shredded.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
- **Hawaiian Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tablespoon minced ginger; sauté until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
- Pour in the reserved pineapple juice mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Serve the shredded pork on slider buns or Hawaiian rolls, drizzled generously with the Hawaiian sauce. Enjoy!
