Follow The Directions

01

Step

Place the pork butt in the bowl of a slow cooker. Pour the teriyaki marinade and chicken broth over the pork, ensuring it's evenly coated. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the pork is easily shredded with a fork. (5-6 hours)

03

Step

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and transfer it to a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Season the shredded pork with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to your preference. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Serve the teriyaki pulled pork on buns, over rice, or as a flavorful topping for salads. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal. (3 minutes)

For a richer flavor, sear the pork butt on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the shredded pork from the slow cooker and whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker liquid and cook on High for 10-15 minutes, or until thickened.
Leftover teriyaki pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Try adding a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a more complex flavor profile.
