Instructions
For The Pork
In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, Chinese five spice powder and ground pepper.
Mix with a fork until you have sort of a wet paste.
Place your pork ribeye roast in a 6 quart or larger oval slow cooker and spread the wet paste all over all the sides of the pork, flipping over as needed.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours.
When cooked. Remove pork from slow cooker and place on a plate or cookie sheet and let rest for 30 minutes.
While the pork roast is resting make a slurry of 2 teaspoons corn starch and 1/4 cup cold water, add the slurry to the cooking juices in the slow cooker and cover and let cook for 30 minutes on high to thicken the juices.
Shred the cooled pork and add back into the crock. Toss with the toasted sesame seeds (if using) and mix with the now slightly thickened juices.
For The Slaw
In a large mixing bowl toss the bagged broccoli slaw with the toasted sesame oil, seasoned rice vinegar and minced garlic.
Cover bowl and refrigerate while your pork roast is cooking to let the flavors blend.
For The Sliders
Split open slider rolls, dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls.
Place a bit of the pulled pork on the bottom roll and top with some slaw.
Top with the top bun.
Eat and enjoy!
