Hoisin Pulled Pork

Pulled Pork anyone? Yes, PLEASE! I love pulled pork. I have a variety of different recipes, including Sweet Pulled Pork, Mango Pulled Pork, and Cafe Rio Pulled Pork. They are all so different and equally delicious! This is another recipe, more asian flare-ish. We really loved it, especially with the coleslaw. Please don’t omit it! The sour tang of the coleslaw makes this sweet pork really pop!

Shred pork, removing excess fat, with two forks. Meanwhile, combine smashed garlic cloves, grated ginger and hoisin sauce. Return shredded pork to crock pot. Pour hoisin sauce mixture over pork and mix together. Cook for an additional 1-2 hours.
