This delicious Slow Cooker Asian Pulled Pork is as easy as loading everything in the slow cooker, walking away, then shredding the meat just before serving. The result is tender shredded pork that is sweet and savory with a touch of spice.
Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, ginger and garlic to a greased slow cooker and give everything a good stir.
Trim any extra fat off the pork loin, then cut it against the grain into 3 smaller pieces.
Add the pork to the slow cooker with sauce, turning to coat. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the meat is tender and shreds easily. (If possible, turn the pork over halfway through the cooking time.)
Once the pork has cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a plate. Then, use 2 forks to shred the meat.
Next, return the Asian shredded pork to the slow cooker and give everything a stir to combine the juices with the meat. Allow the shredded meat to simmer on low in the juices for 30 minutes prior to serving.
