Breastfeeding Friendly Coconut Aminos & Ginger Pulled Pork

Slow-cooked and falling-apart tender, this pulled pork is the kind of deeply satisfying meal that feels like a reward after a long day — and it genuinely delivers on flavor without any of the ingredients that nursing parents often need to sidestep. The pork shoulder gets a turmeric-and-ginger dry rub before being seared until deeply golden, building a rich, caramelized crust that infuses every shred with savory depth. The braising liquid is where things get really good: coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce, delivering that umami punch without the additives found in many bottled condiments, while bone broth adds a nourishing, collagen-rich base that slow-cooks down into something almost silky. Fresh ginger and garlic round out the flavor in a way that feels warming and grounding rather than sharp or overwhelming. After eight hours on low, the meat shreds effortlessly and gets tossed back into those gorgeous juices so every bite is juicy and well-coated. Finished with scallions and cilantro, it's bright, fragrant, and genuinely craveable — the kind of recipe you'll want on regular rotation when you need a hands-off dinner that still feels like you put in real effort.
