Preparation
  1. Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, mix together pineapple chunks (with juice), soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and onion.
  3. Pour the mixture over the pork.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is tender.
  2. Once cooked, shred the pork with two forks and mix it back into the sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork for a few hours or overnight in the sauce. Add bell peppers or carrots for color and nutrition, and garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions.
