This is my favorite way to make pork roast. Adapted this recipe from Light & Tasty. Ingredients:
2 large onions, thinly sliced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 (3 lb) boneless whole pork loin roast |
3 bay leaves |
1/4 cup hot water |
1/4 cup honey |
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce |
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 cup cold water |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted |
hot cooked rice (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place onions in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, salt and pepper. Cut roast in half; rub with garlic mixture. Put roast in the slow cooker and add bay leaves.
2. In a small bowl, combine hot water and honey; stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and cloves. Pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F.
3. Remove meat and onions from slow cooker; keep warm. Discard bay leaves. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually stir into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until thickened, stirring twice.
4. Slice pork; top with onions, sauce and sesame seeds. Serve on a bed of rice if desired.
