INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add the pork and the sauce ingredients to the slow cooker and toss to coat the meat.

  3. Once the pork is tender shred it with two forks. I just do this in the slow cooker.
  4. You can drain some of the liquid or serve the extra liquid over rice!
  5. Serve immediately with sesame seeds if desired.

  1. For crispy pork when the pork has finished cooking and is shredded preheat broiler and place the pork on a rimmed baking sheet.
