Ingredients
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce or gochujang
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 1/2 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2-inch pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, chili-garlic sauce, ginger and sesame oil in a 5-quart slow cooker.
2. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add to the slow cooker, and mix with the sauce.

Pro tip: For a thicker, stickier sauce, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch into 3 tablespoons water and stir into the slow cooker at the end of the cooking time. Cover and wait 5 minutes before serving.
