Lupin Free Coconut Aminos & Ginger Pulled Pork

Slow-cooked pork shoulder doesn't get much more satisfying than this — deeply savory, fall-apart tender, and layered with warm ginger, turmeric, and garlic in every single bite. The braising liquid is where the magic really happens: coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce, delivering that rich, umami depth without any of the legume-based ingredients that can sneak into conventional versions of this kind of dish. A splash of apple cider vinegar and a touch of honey round out the sauce with just enough brightness and sweetness to keep things balanced. Searing the pork shoulder first builds a gorgeous crust that locks in flavor before the slow cooker does its low-and-slow work over eight hours. By the time you shred it, the collagen has fully broken down and the meat practically falls apart on its own, soaking up all those fragrant braising juices. Finished with fresh scallions and cilantro, it's the kind of meal that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Pile it over rice, stuff it into lettuce cups, or eat it straight from the slow cooker — no judgment here.
