Crock-Pot Sesame Pulled Pork Sandwich with Asian Slaw

Ingredients

Pulled Pork:

2 Pound Pork Roast (Center Cut Boneless)
1 Cup Soy Sauce
4 Garlic Cloves
4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Honey
2 Teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil 1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
6 Teaspoons Sesame Seeds

Asian Slaw:

12 Ounces Broccoli Slaw
2 Ounces Slivered Almonds (look in produce department)
6 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
6 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
2 Teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

For the pork:

Turn crock-pot on and set to low. Place roast in the crock-pot.

In a medium sized bowl, combine soy sauce, garlic, sugar, honey, oil and ginger,stirring well. Pour mixture over pork.

Place lid over the crock-pot and allow pork to cook for at least four hours, turning once after two hours.

After four hours of cooking, shred the meat using two forks to pull apart the meat into pieces that are 2-3 inches long. If hard to shred, try taking it out and slicing first.

Allow pork to cook at least one additional hour, but up to four hours.

If pork is done before you are ready to serve it, turn the crock-pot to the “keep warm” setting until you are ready to serve.

Just before serving, add the sesame seeds and stir well to distribute them throughout the pork.

Serve on toasted buns with Asian Slaw if desired (see below).

For Asian Slaw: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients stirring well. Allow to set for at least an hour to allow flavors to combine.
