Mushroom 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, garlic, and turmeric in every single bite. The braising liquid is where the magic really happens: coconut aminos bring that rich, umami-forward depth you'd expect from a soy-based sauce, while apple cider vinegar and honey balance everything out with a subtle sweet-tart edge. A long, low cook in the slow cooker breaks down the collagen in the bone-in shoulder until the meat practically shreds itself, soaking up all those aromatic juices along the way. For anyone navigating a mushroom-free lifestyle, this kind of deeply flavored braised meat can feel hard to come by — so many shortcut sauces and broths sneak in mushroom powder or fungi-derived extracts. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, from the coconut aminos to the bone broth, so you're in full control of what goes into the pot. Finished with fresh scallions and cilantro, it's the kind of dish that looks and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen — because, well, you kind of did, just with very little actual effort.
