Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork shoulder roast
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Hoisin sauce
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Rice vinegar
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 pieces Scallions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Trim any excess fat off the pork shoulder roast and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Place the pork roast into the slow cooker and pour the marinade over the top, ensuring the meat is fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreddable.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat.
Transfer the shredded pork back into the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the crock pot and stir to thicken the sauce. Cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Before serving, garnish the pork with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice, noodles, or alongside vegetables.
