Asian Style Pork Roast
Like many busy mommas, I adore my slow cooker. I plop the ingredients in the pot, turn it on and go about my day.
At dinnertime, as if I was slaving away all day, a fabulous dinner is served!
This recipe for Asian Style Pork Roast takes a four and half pound roast and lets it cook in the slow cooker with soy sauce, beer, some aromatics, brown sugar, a little bit of sesame oil. Let it cook slowly for several hours and you've got yourself an amazing Asian-style dish.
At the end of the cooking time, sprinkle in some chopped chives or scallions for garnish and serve over a bed of fluffy white Jasmine rice, or your favorite Asian noodles.
This recipe is best started over night for the next day or in the morning, just in time for dinnertime.
