Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Pork shoulder roast
- 1 cup Hoisin sauce
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 6 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Pat the pork shoulder roast dry with paper towels and season it evenly on all sides with salt and black pepper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
Place the pork roast in the slow cooker. Pour the hoisin sauce mixture over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Add half of the sliced green onions to the slow cooker as well.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and easily shredded.
Once the pork has finished cooking, transfer it to a large platter and shred it using two forks. Cover the shredded pork with aluminum foil to keep it warm.
Pour the remaining liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Skim off any visible fat from the surface of the liquid.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the saucepan with the cooking liquid and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 3–5 minutes.
Pour the thickened sauce over the shredded pork, stirring gently to combine.
Garnish the pork with the remaining sliced green onions and serve over steamed rice, noodles, or alongside steamed vegetables.
