Ingredients

PULLED PORK

• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• ½ cup red cooking wine
• ¼ cup coconut amino acids
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
• Juice of 1 large orange
• 3 star anise pods
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder

BOWLS

• 3 cups cooked black rice
• 2 tablespoons Homemade Furikake Rice Seasoning (page 104)
• Rainbow Veggie Quickles (page 76)
• Collard greens, sautéed

Directions

1) MAKE THE PULLED PORK: In a medium bowl, whisk together all
the ingredients except for the pork.
2) Put the pork shoulder in a large slow cooker and pour the broth mixture over the top, making sure it's drenched. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours, until the pork is fork-tender.
3) Remove the pork from the cooking liquid and shred the meat using two forks. Return the pulled pork to the liquid in the slow cooker and toss thoroughly. If desired, cover and cook on high for 30 minutes to allow the shredded pork to absorb more flavor.
4) ASSEMBLE THE BOWLS: In each bowl, layer the pulled pork, ½ cup cooked black rice, 1 teaspoon furikake, quickles, and sautéed collard greens.
