Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours

Ingredients

  • 12-18 Slider buns or soft dinner rolls
  • 1.8-2.2 kg Pork shoulder with skin on
  • 1 Rice cooker cup water
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Dry Rub

  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Paprika smoked
  • 1/4 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • ½ tsp Mustard powder
  • ½ tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Table salt
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • ½ tsp White pepper
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne pepper

BBQ Sauce

  • 250 ml Tomato ketchup
  • 60 ml Apple cider vinegar
  • 50 g Brown sugar
  • 30 ml Worcestershire sauce
  • 15 ml Yellow mustard
  • 15 ml Molasses
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Onion powder
  • ¼ tsp Ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp Salt or to taste

Coleslaw

  • 300 g Shredded coleslaw mix
  • 125 g Mayonnaise
  • tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Start by scoring the skin of the pork. Mix all dry rub spices thoroughly and rub evenly over the pork shoulder.
  • Place the water, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into the pan of the rice cooker. Place the pork, skin-side down, into the pan and close the lid. Select the ‘Soup/Slow Cook’ menu, dial in 8 hours, and press start.
  • When the pork is nearly ready, make the BBQ sauce and coleslaw. To make the BBQ sauce, add all ingredients to a small saucepan and simmer over low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Set aside until required.
  • To make the coleslaw, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard in a large bowl. Add the coleslaw mix and toss thoroughly to combine.
  • When the pork has finished cooking, remove the meaty part (leaving the fat behind) from the pot and place it in a large bowl along with about ¼ cup of the cooking juices. Using two forks, shred the pork. Add the BBQ sauce to the pork and stir well to combine. If you’d like it a little juicier, add more of the cooking juices from the rice cooker.
  • To serve, split the buns in half; top with coleslaw, the pulled pork mixture, and the bun lids. Serve warm or at room temperature.
