Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds 1,125 g pork roast, diced into 6 pieces
  • 1/2 white onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic smashed with the side of a knife and peeled
  • 1/4 cup 60 mL soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon 15 g cornstarch
  • 3 Thai chili peppers sliced

Instructions

  • In a crock pot, add the pork roast, onion, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey and sesame seeds; stir until the pork is coated with the other ingredients. Cook on high for 4 hours.
  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred using two forks.

Notes

Crush red pepper is a good substitute for Thai chili peppers. You can also cook this recipe on low heat for 8 hours.
