Notes
- * Pork shoulder is also sold as pork butt. Both cuts are from the shoulder of pork and cook in the same fashion.
- ** White or brown rice will work in this recipe.
- *** The nutritional values provided are based and inclusive of all ingredients ... they are not entirely accurate since a lot of the meat juices are discarded and the optional garnishes may not be used.
