Slow Cooker Hoisin Pulled Pork

Pin It
Hey all! I know it's been awhile, but I'm back for Secret Recipe Club this month. I've been cooking lots, but it's hard to get some time on the computer with a newborn and toddler running around! Once I get in the swing of things, I promise I'll be back! But for now, expect sporadic recipe posts!
This month's SRC assignment was Sashi's blog over at Get Off The Couch and Cook. I'll admit there were a ton of recipes I bookmarked to try out, but these days new slow cooker recipes always grab my interest! The easier, the better :) My family loves pulled pork sandwiches, so I was excited to try out a new flavor profile other than traditional BBQ. These Asian-inspired sandwiches were scrumptious and were so easy to make. We love Asian dishes in our household so this was right up our alley! The pork was tender after a few hours and was falling apart. Enjoy!
