Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork loin roast
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 2 stalks scallions (green onions), sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the pork loin roast into the Crock Pot, fat-side up.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
Pour the teriyaki mixture over the pork roast, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the Crock Pot and place it on a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Shred the pork with two forks, if desired.
To thicken the sauce, strain the liquid from the Crock Pot into a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
Return the shredded pork to the Crock Pot and pour the thickened sauce over the meat. Stir to combine.
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or with your favorite vegetables.
