Method
Preheat the oven to 150°C. Pat the pork shoulder dry and pierce all over with a knife, then rub with the liquid smoke and coarse sea salt.
Wrap the pork tightly in foil and place in a roasting tray.
Roast for approximately 4 hours, checking after 3 hours 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer reads at least 90°C and the meat shreds easily with a fork.
Unwrap the pork and shred it with two forks, mixing through any juices from the foil.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook the shredded cabbage for 6 minutes until just wilted.
Pile the shredded pork over the cabbage to serve.
