Recipe from Joan Harvest

 

This is quick to prepare and tastes great.  I serve it over Jasmine Basmati rice. I cook a vegetable on the side. The family loves it. I like it because I can do it in the morning and it comes out so tender.

Char Siu Pork

Ingredients

• 1/4  cup  low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4  cup  hoisin sauce
• 3  tablespoons  ketchup
• 3  tablespoons  honey
• 2  teaspoons  bottled minced garlic
• 2  teaspoons  grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1  teaspoon  dark sesame oil
• 1/2  teaspoon  five-spice powder
• 2  pounds  boneless pork loin roast–cut off all the visible fat

Preparation

Combine first 8 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk.  I cut the roast in half the long way and then brown it first in a very hot fry pan that I spray with Pam.  You don’t have to do this.  I do it because I like the color better and I think it sears the meat to keep it moist.

Place pork and sauce in an electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. I turn the pork over a few times during cooking.
