Low FODMAP Coconut Aminos & Ginger Pulled Pork

This slow-cooked pulled pork builds deep, savory flavor from coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and warm turmeric, all simmered together with bone broth and a bright splash of apple cider vinegar. The pork shoulder gets seared until deeply browned before it braises low and slow for eight hours, turning completely fork-tender and shreddable with just two forks. Once shredded, the meat goes right back into those rich braising juices, soaking up every bit of savory depth along the way. A finishing scatter of fresh herbs adds a fresh, bright note against all that slow-cooked richness. It's an easy weeknight-to-weekend dinner that works piled onto rice bowls, tucked into lettuce wraps, or eaten straight from the slow cooker. This one's a genuinely solid choice for a low FODMAP kitchen.

½ tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp coconut oil

For the braising liquid

½ cup coconut aminos
½ cup bone broth (homemade or aip-compliant brand)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp honey
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
4 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
½ tsp ground turmeric

For serving

2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)

Pat the pork shoulder completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, 1 tsp turmeric, and ground ginger, then rub the mixture evenly over all surfaces of the pork.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork shoulder and sear, turning with tongs, for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned on all surfaces. Transfer the seared pork to a 6-quart slow cooker.
