Pour this juicy sauce on pork shoulder in a slow cooker. You’ll ditch the takeout menus for good

This recipe reminds me of my favorite Korean barbecue restaurant in New York. I’d always get the bulgogi, a dish of marinated pork cooked right at the table. Now that I live in central Georgia, there aren’t a lot of Korean restaurants around, but this always cures my cravings. Learn to make delicious Asian-style pork in the recipe below.

A mixture of sweet, salty and spicy provides the perfect accompaniment to rich, tender pork shoulder. This dish is delicious served over rice and/or tossed with steamed broccoli. I also like to garnish it with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.

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
