Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients (hoisin, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, tomato paste, Worcestershire and garlic) until blended. Place roast in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Pour sauce mixture over top. Cook, covered, on low 7-9 hours or until pork is tender.
- Remove roast; cool slightly. Skim fat from cooking juices. Coarsely shred pork with two forks. Return pork to slow cooker; heat through. Using tongs, serve pork on rolls, adding toppings as desired.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled meat mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth if necessary. Serve as directed.
