Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks, about 3-4 inches each.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sriracha, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth.
Place the pork shoulder pieces into the crockpot and pour the peanut sauce mixture over the pork, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once the pork is fully cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the sauce in the crockpot and stir to combine.
Serve the Crockpot Peanut Pork over steamed rice, rice noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro before serving for added texture and flavor.
