There are all kinds of things you can make in your slow cooker and this has to be one of the best. The flavours here are classic Asian and thanks to the slow cooker, they have hours to develop and get right into that tender, succulent meat.
When you’re ready to serve, grab a fork and use it to pull apart the meat letting it fall into the beautiful sauce in the pot. Dish it up with a side of steamed rice and Asian greens for a delicious and filling meal.
