Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork shoulder roast
• 1 cup Hoisin sauce
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 6 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork shoulder roast dry with paper towels and season it evenly on all sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.

Step 3

Place the pork roast in the slow cooker. Pour the hoisin sauce mixture over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Add half of the sliced green onions to the slow cooker as well.

Step 4

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and easily shredded.

Step 5

Once the pork has finished cooking, transfer it to a large platter and shred it using two forks. Cover the shredded pork with aluminum foil to keep it warm.

Step 6

Pour the remaining liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Skim off any visible fat from the surface of the liquid.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the saucepan with the cooking liquid and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 3–5 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the thickened sauce over the shredded pork, stirring gently to combine.

Step 9

Garnish the pork with the remaining sliced green onions and serve over steamed rice, noodles, or alongside steamed vegetables.
