Makes 8 Servings

Prep time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 4 - 8 hrs in slow cooker

Sticky, sweet and moreish – this slow cooker pork is deliciously versatile. Try it on noodles, over rice, in a soft bao bun or even in tacos!

Remove the fat from the pork and season generously all over with salt & pepper. Heat a splash of oil in a large fry pan over high heat. Add the pork and sear on all sides until golden brown. Transfer to your slow cooker.
In a mixing bowl combine ½ cup coconut milk, the simmer sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, vinegar and fish sauce.
Pour the sauce over the pork and set the slow cooker temperature to low to cook for 8 hours, or to high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreds and falls apart.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and set aside on a board or plate. Reserve the sauce from the slow cooker and set aside.
To make the caramel sauce, add the remaining brown sugar and coconut milk to a large fry pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the reserved sauce from the slow cooker, and continue to whisk until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Shred the pork with 2 forks and pour over the caramel sauce. Serve immediately.
