  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 lb pork shoulder approx

Steps

  1. Combine the sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, lemongrass, ginger, garlic and water in the bottom of a slow cooker (ideally a smaller width in the base is better if you are using this quantity, otherwise double the recipe).
  2. Add the pork and turn so a bit of the cooking sauce sticks to the top of the pork, then cook on low for 6-8 hours until the pork is fall apart tender.
