Remove pork to a large cutting board and discard onion. Using two forks, shred pork. Strain liquid into a measuring cup to reach 1/2 cup (discard any additional liquid). Skim off fat.
Whisk ketchup with vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and onion powder and reserved liquid in a large bowl. Add pork and stir until coated. Serve on toasted buns or over cooked rice if desired. Pork keeps well, refrigerated, up to 3 days.
