Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the about 1360 g pork shoulder with the 2 tbsp Hawaiian sea salt and the 1 tsp liquid smoke. Rub this mixture thoroughly over all surfaces of the pork shoulder.
  2. 2Carefully place the seasoned about 1360 g pork shoulder into a slow cooker.
  3. 3Cover the slow cooker and cook on the "low" setting for 8 hours. The pork is done when it is very tender, easily pulls apart with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of at least 91°C.
  4. 4Carefully remove the cooked about 1360 g pork shoulder from the slow cooker and place it on a clean cutting board. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
  5. 5Slice each of the 12 Sweet Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Spoon a generous amount of the shredded pork onto the bottom half of each roll.
  6. 6Top the shredded pork on each slider with a portion of the 2 cups Coleslaw. Place the top half of each roll back onto the bottom half to complete the sliders.
