Prep

Step 1. Add Pork Shoulder, Soy Sauce, Honey, Ginger, Garlic, and some of the Water to a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until the pork pulls apart easily, about 8 hours.
Step 2. Meanwhile, about half an hour before the pork is ready, toss Cucumber with Rice Vinegar and half the Salt. Refrigerate until serving, tossing occasionally.
Step 3. Bring Jasmine Rice, the rest of the Water, and the rest of the Salt to a boil in a saucepan. Cover and simmer on low until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 4. Let the rice stand covered until tender, about 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Step 5. Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Transfer the pork to a rimmed sheet pan and shred with forks. Skim fat from the cooking liquid, then toss the pork with enough liquid to moisten it.

Cook

Step 6. Broil the pork until the edges are browned and crisp, about 4 minutes, watching closely. Toss with Lime juice and a little more cooking liquid if needed.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Divide the rice and pork among bowls. Drain the cucumber and add it to the bowls, then top with Scallions and Sesame Seeds.
