METHOD
Why It Works
A honey garlic sauce flavors the pork as it slow-cooks and reduces into a glaze. The long cook makes the roast fork-tender.
Ingredients
Protein
• 3 lb pork loin roast
Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
Sauce
• ⅓ cup honey
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Topping
• 2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Rub the pork with salt and pepper and set it in the slow cooker.
2
Whisk honey, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, and rice vinegar and pour over the pork.
3

4

5

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
What cut should I use?
Pork loin roast slices neatly; pork shoulder pulls apart.
Can I thicken the sauce?
Yes. Simmer it with a cornstarch slurry until glossy.
How do I serve it?
Over rice or noodles to catch the honey garlic sauce.
Quick Fixes
Sauce too thin: reduce it on the stovetop or thicken with cornstarch.
Too sweet: add a splash of soy or vinegar.
Roast dry: keep it in the sauce and don't overcook a lean cut.
