Chinese-Inspired Barbecue Pulled Pork

Inspired by Chinese Char Siu, this easy slow cooker pulled pork recipe mimics the flavors of Chinese five spice, soy sauce, honey and garlic but uses every day ingredients you probably already have on hand. Enjoy this on rice, in sandwiches or use it to make some Asian flavored tacos.

– 2 lb pork – 2 tablespoon honey – 1 and ½ tablespoon rice vinegar – 1 and ½ tablespoon coconut aminos – 2 teaspoon fine sea salt – 1 teaspoon sesame oil – ½ teaspoon cinnamon – ½ teaspoon black pepper – ¼ teaspoon cloves – 4 cloves garlic – ¾ cup water*

INGREDIENTS

Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
