Crockpot Recipe Rave

I made this today - https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/sweet-spicy-asian-pork-shoulder-00000000028082/index.html

It's outta control delicious. Sweet and Spicy, just like the recipe says. DH said he wants me to add it to the "cook often list."

Per a friends' rec, I used a sirloin roast instead of a shoulder (less fatty). I have the Hamilton Beech mother of crockpots and 7 hours on low was perfect. He also said that he cooked the roast whole, but I followed the recipe and cut it in pieces. I might just cut the roast in half next time. Another suggestion that I followed (which makes sense if you're cooking a whole roast is to rub some of the dry ingredients into the roast. That way the part that's not covered in liquid has more flavor.

Enjoy!
