Method

1

Pat pork shoulder dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on all sides.

2

Poke sweet potatoes with a fork and place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and salt lightly.

3

Toss shredded red cabbage and carrot together in a bowl. Whisk together rice vinegar and sugar, then pour over vegetables and let sit.

4

Place seasoned pork into slow cooker and pour BBQ sauce over it. Cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until pork shreds easily.

5

After 6 hours of pork cooking time, roast sweet potatoes at 400°F for about 50 minutes, until tender.

6

When pork is done, transfer to a cutting board or bowl. Shred with two forks, removing excess fat and bone if needed. Return shredded pork to slow cooker and stir to coat with sauce.

7

Halve or quarter each roasted sweet potato and place on a plate or bowl.

8

Top each sweet potato with a generous portion of warm pulled pork and sauce.

9

Add a spoonful of chilled cabbage slaw and sliced onion to each portion.

10

Garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
