Preparation

Step 1

1. Halve the roast and place the pieces in your slow cooker.

2. Sprinkle with brown sugar, soy sauce, onion, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic.

3. Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours (depending on how hot your slow cooker cooks) until the meat begins to fall apart and you can easily shred it. (Because I got this in the pot a little later than I wanted I cooked on HIGH for 2 hours and then switched to LOW for the rest of the time)

4. Shred the meat and stir all the juices in with the meat. Salt and pepper to taste and add more vinegar, if desired. Switch the slow cooker to WARM and cover.

5. Dice the cabbage and sprinkle into the meat. Serve over hot cooked rice.
