Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Asian Pork Shoulder
Jonny Valiant
How to Make It
Step 1
In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the soy sauce, sugar, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, five-spice powder (if using), ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the pork and toss to coat. Cook, covered, until the pork is tender, on high for 4 to 5 hours (this will shorten total cooking time) or on low for 7 to 8 hours.
Step 2
Twenty-five minutes before serving, cook the rice according to the package directions.
Step 3
Meanwhile, skim off and discard any fat from the pork. Gently fold the bok choy into the pork and cook, covered, until heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve with the rice and sprinkle with the scallions.

Tried it and it was like sucking on a salt cube. Wasn't spicy at all imo, probably because I only used 1 tbsp sauce instead of 2 or maybe didn't use as much ginger. Need suggestions on how to lessen the salty flavour though.

I made this today and thought it was good. It wasn't too spicy! I will definitely make this again for my family!

I made this last weekend, pretty much as the recipe directs, cutting back on the chili-garlic sauce to make sure it wasn't too spicy. Put the whole shoulder in the crock pot, and made the sauce in a sauce pan first, and then poured it over the shoulder. I did this the night before, put it on early the next day, and enjoyed it while we watched football. It was absolutely delicious, and I received rave reviews from our guests. Make this for your family, or for guests - either way, they'll be impressed.

I cut the soy sauce to 1/4 cup and cut the hot chili sauce to 1/2 T. Did not use 5-spice - added some garlic powder. Added 2 t Asian BBQ sauce, and 2 t thai sweet chili sauce. Cooked the roast whole on low.

I tired this dish for the first time tonight and it was delicious. My husband loved it too. Definitely going in the rotation for dinner. I couldn't find the Chinese 5 spice powder, so I added a hint of some stir-fry cooking powder. Tasty!

I didn't start this in time to use the slow cooker, but put it in the oven whole. I served it with sauteed broccoli, squash, bok choy, onion garlic, red and yellow peppers. It was easy and delicious.

This was very powerful and spicy. I think next time I will cut back on the soy sauce, but definitely enjoyed it. http://www.tanastable.com/

Wow- SPICY!! Delicious, but beware- my kids couldn't eat cause it's so spicy. It was tasty as written for adults, but got my nose running.

I used a pork tenderloin and it worked well when I cooked on the low setting. It dried up when cooked on high. This is one of my husbands's favorite meals.
