Ingredients

3.5 lb boneless, skinless pork shoulder (Trimmed of large pieces of fat and cut in half)
8 garlic (Large cloves, finely chopped)
3 tbsp fresh ginger (Minced; from one 3-inch piece)
1 tsp red-pepper flakes (Plus more to taste for serving)
2 tsp lime zest (Finely grated; from 1 lime)
2 tbsp lime juice (From 1 lime; plus extra lime wedges for serving)
1 cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce (See the author's tip)
1 cup honey
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
cooked rice, noodles, or lettuce cups (For serving; amount not specified)
toasted sesame seeds (For topping; amount not specified)
scallions (Sliced, for topping; amount not specified)
cilantro (Chopped, for topping; amount not specified)
lime wedges (For serving; amount not specified)

Steps

1
Place the pork in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes, and lime zest over the pork.
2
In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the pork.
3
Using tongs, turn the pork to coat all sides in the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger remain on top of the pork.
4
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours, until the pork is very tender and shreds easily with a fork. The pork may be held on the warm setting. If possible, flip it once during cooking so the flavors distribute evenly and the color remains uniform.
5
Using tongs, transfer the pork to a serving platter or a large, shallow serving bowl.
6
Using a ladle, skim excess fat from the surface of the cooking liquid, if desired.
7
Carefully pour the sauce into a large pot. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until reduced and slightly syrupy.
8
Meanwhile, coarsely shred the pork using two forks.
9
Sprinkle the lime juice over the shredded meat.
10
Drizzle about half of the reduced sauce over the meat and toss until evenly combined.
11
Serve the pork over rice or noodles, or in lettuce cups. Top with toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and chopped cilantro.
12
Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, along with extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.
