Equipment
Ingredients
Slow Cooker Hoisin Pork Marinade
- 3-4 pound Pork butt or pork shoulder
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- ¼ cup shoyu Japanese soy sauce, low sodium preferred
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped or grated
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
Sliders
- 8 Hawaiian sweet rolls mini or regular size
- Kimchi
- Sriracha for garnish
- Green onions chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Dry the pork shoulder with paper towels and place in the slow cooker.
- Mix marinade ingredients together and pour over pork.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours or until pork is incredibly tender and falls apart easily.
- When pork is done, remove from slow cooker and shred with 2 forks.
- Reserve leftover sauce and put shredded meat back in the sauce so it can soak it all up.
- To assemble, layer a heaping spoonful of shredded pork onto half of the Hawaiian roll and top with kimchi, a drizzle of sriracha and chopped green onions. Place the top of the Hawaiian roll on to form a slider and serve.
Notes
To add extra caramelization to the pork, add shredded pork to a skillet and cook on high heat to add a bit more of a crust to the meat.
Pulled pork works great to make ahead up to 3 days in advance.
Pulled pork can also be frozen easily. To reheat, add to a skillet with a bit of water or stock and cook until warmed through.
