Ingredients

¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon wasabi powder
1 (4 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast, or to taste, trimmed
5 cups water
1 cup soy sauce
2 star anise, broken in half
1 green onion, cut into 4 pieces

Steps:

Combine ginger, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and wasabi powder in a small bowl.
Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
Rub spice mixture all over pork and transfer to the hot pot. Brown for 8 to 10 minutes per side.
Add water, soy sauce, star anise, and green onion. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours, occasionally basting with cooking liquid. Turn roast over, cover, and continue to cook and baste until fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Remove from the pot and place on a serving dish. Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
