Slow Cooker Asian Pork Roast with Ginger Glaze

Yum

March 4, 2016 by Jodi + 25 Comments

Slow Cooker Asian Pork Roast with Ginger Glaze is simple, incredibly delicious and going to quickly become a family favorite. Topped with an Asian-inspired ginger glaze that take it to a whole new level. 

Some people are unbelievable!

The other day my boys and I were driving in a parking lot when a lady failed to yield before trying to turn left and about caused an accident.

Thankfully, I was paying attention and when I saw her start to turn out in front of us, I slammed on my brakes and barely avoided hitting her. After she backed up so I could drive past her, I looked over at her, held both my hands up and gently gave her the “what were you thinking look.” Then she had the nerve to give me the finger and told me to F-off .  Seriously!?!?  She was the one being completely careless and stupid and she is mad at me! Oh, and the kicker, her son was in the car with her. . .way to be a stellar example to your son lady!

Ugh! I was so annoyed. So yes, some people are UNBELIEVABLE!

You know what else is unbelievable? This Slow Cooker Asian Pork Roast! Aaaand what makes this even better, it’s made in your slow cooker, which is always, always a good thing.

I went a little lighter on the ginger in the rub and the glaze from the original recipe. I love ginger, but I think it’s a really strong flavor and I didn’t want it to be too overpowering. Feel free to add a little more ginger if you’d like.

I served this with our favorite rice, some fresh green beans and rolls and it was seriously one of the best meals ever! Next time I would definitely one and a half the recipe for the glaze because it is absolutely amazing.

Ingredients

Units Scale

RUB:

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2–3 pound pork sirloin roast (or tenderloin)

GLAZE:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar ((or white))
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (, grated)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, powdered ginger, cinnamon, garlic, cloves, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Mix until combined
  2. Place the roast in your slow cooker and rub the seasonings on both sides of the pork roast.
  3. Add ½ cup water in the slow cooker, (don’t pour it directly over the roast because you don’t want to wash away the rub).
  4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, then preheat your broiler.
  5. Just before the pork is done, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, rice vinegar, cold water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Cook on medium heat and stir until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in minced ginger.
  6. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray.
  7. Remove the pork from the crock pot and place on the cookie sheet. Brush a generous amount of the glaze on the pork.
  8. Broil the pork for 1 or 2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Watch it closely. Repeat 2 or 3 more times. Serve the remaining glaze on the side.

    Can you make this in the instapot? electric pressure cooker?

      Hi Julie! I’m sure you can. I actually don’t have an instapot or a pressure cooker (gasp!!), but I’m sure they both have cooking directions for pork roasts. I would just rub the seasonings on the pork and cook it according to the directions of your instapot/pressure cooker, then remove it and put it on a cookie sheet and just follow the rest of directions on the recipe. Let me know if you try it.

    Would this work with a pork butt roast?

    Amazing! So much flavor! Love that the glaze is both sweet and hot. The only thing I would do differently would be to make more of the glaze.
