Preparation

Step 1

1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit into a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Place meat in the cooker. In a medium bowl combine jicama, green onions, vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, salt, chile oil, and black pepper. Pour over meat.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting 4 to 5 hours.

3. If using low-heat setting, turn cooker to high-heat setting. In a small bowl combine cornstarch and the cold water; stir into mixture in cooker. Cover and cook about 15 minutes more or until thickened.

4. Remove meat from cooker, reserving cooking juices. Using two forks, pull meat apart into shreds.


5. Spoon shredded meat onto cabbage or lettuce leaves. If desired, add cashews, additional jicama strips, and/or slivered green onions. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper. Fold in opposite sides of each cabbage or lettuce leaf; roll up and secure with a cocktail pick. Serve wraps with the reserved cooking liquid for dipping.
