Preparation

Step 1

Cooking Directions

Place the pork roast in your slow
cooker.

In a small bowl, whisk together
the Chinese Five Spice, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon
crushed red pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Rub the spice mixture all over
the pork roast (including the bottom). Pour 1 cup of water around the side of
the pork roast. Try not to pour it over top. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours
or high for 4 hours.

When there is about 20 minutes of
cooking time left, prepare your glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the
cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved. Set aside.

In a large saucepan, add 1/2 cup of
the remaining cold water, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon crushed
red pepper, and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and then stir in the
cornstarch. Continue to stir until the glaze has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat.

Remove the pork from the slow
cooker and discard the liquid. Generously brush the pork with the glaze while
the pork is still hot. Serve the remaining glaze on the side.

Serve the pork with chopped fresh
cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!
