This Slow Cooker Asian Pulled Pork is a weekly recipe in my house! As a main dish, or on a sandwich it is packed with flavor and super easy to throw together. Take it to your next pot luck and everyone will be asking what you put on your pulled pork!
Ok guys, this recipe is one that I’ve made over and over and over again, and it just never gets old! I make little variations, stick with the recipe, serve it with broccoli, serve it on brioche rolls, the possibilities are endless. One thing is for sure though, it is loaded with juicy, delicious flavor and your family will gobble it up!
Life Update
With all the pulled pork talk out of the way, how about a life update? Last time I posted I think I had a semi-infant, and now my sweet girl is approaching her 1st birthday. The past year has flown by in the blink of an eye, but that’s what everyone tells you about having a baby, right?
If you are new here, I have 5 kiddos. 4 boys and 1 baby girl. I always wanted a daughter and she is seriously just the most precious, heart melting little girl. I adore her every move. Her brothers love her to pieces too. She just started walking and it is funny watching her try to keep up with them. They love to run circles around our house and she waddles around trying to get in the action as well. Never a dull moment over here in our little bubble called life. <3
Why We All Need A Little Slow Cooker In Our Lives
One thing is for sure, in all of the chaotic moments this Mama still has to feed these 5 mouths + my husband a couple meals a day. I NEED easy! Although my daughter is a precious little angel, she is also a lot of work and loves to be right next to me all day. It doesn’t bother me until it is time to cook (which I love doing) and I have no idea how I’m going to operate a stove and tend to my baby sweets.
With that being said my slow cooker and my Instant Pot have been my best friends this year! I honestly don’t think my family would have eaten without them. This Slow Cooker Asian Pulled Pork can be thrown together in 5 minutes, put on high for 4 hours, and shredded. The work is minimal, the flavor is amazing!
Slow Cooker Asian Pulled Pork Recipe Tips
- I always purchase my boneless pork roasts from Wegman’s. I know sometimes meats are labeled differently but Wegman’s makes it really easy and labels them “boneless pork roast.” Thank You for the clarity Wegman’s! This recipe is for a roughly 2 pound roast.
- The dijon mustard is a bit different but trust me, it adds SO much flavor. You need it! Don’t even think twice about it.
- I love to add scallions because they bring a ton of flavor. Throw some in while you are shredding the meat to add flavor.
- I add purple cabbage, more scallions, and cheddar cheese to my Asian Pulled Pork Sandwiches and boy oh boy this recipe makes a delicious sandwich! I would suggest grabbing some brioche buns as well.
- This recipe does refrigerate well and is great as leftovers!
