# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 to 2.5 pounds of pork tenderloin, shoulder, or butt
02 -
4 or 5 garlic cloves
→ Sauce
03 -
1 tablespoon vinegar made from rice wine
04 -
1/3 cup soy sauce
05 -
1 tablespoon dark soy, molasses, or even maple syrup
06 -
1 to 2 teaspoons of red chili flakes (add if you like it spicy)
07 -
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
08 -
1/4 cup honey
09 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch
10 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Lay the pork in a slow cooker. Sprinkle the garlic cloves all around it.
02 -
Mix the soy sauces, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger, honey, cornstarch, and chili flakes in a small bowl.
03 -
Drizzle the sauce over the pork and turn it around to coat every side. It doesn’t need to be swimming in the liquid.
04 -
Let it cook for 2 to 2½ hours on high or 4 hours on low, until it’s soft enough to fall apart.
05 -
Take out the garlic cloves. Use a fork to pull apart the pork into shreds, then heat it on high until it’s warm. Serve with noodles, rice, or even make tacos or sliders.
# Notes:
01 -
Cooking a larger piece? It’ll need 8 to 10 hours on a low setting.
02 -
Feel free to swap in a different type of vinegar.
03 -
Awesome when tossed with shredded cabbage and carrots.
