It's almost sacrilegious for a South Carolinian from the capitol city to make any sauce for pulled pork except mustard-based. But we love this Asian-inspired Ginger Sauce. Wonderful in a sandwich it's also great over rice. —Mary Marlowe Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina

Ingredients

2 medium onions, chopped
1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 pounds), trimmed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
Thinly sliced green onions
Hamburger buns, split

Directions

Place onions in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper; place over onions. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until pork is tender.
Remove pork and onions; cool slightly. Discard cooking juices or save for another use. Shred pork with two forks. Return pork and onions to slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, butter, coriander and ginger until blended. Stir into pork mixture. Cook, covered, on low 1 hour longer. Sprinkle with green onions; serve on buns.

Best Pork recipe ever! It's the combination of the ginger and coriander! We tried it on both rice and buns. Amazing!

I made this last night and it was very good. I added extra ginger and garlic powder, but didn't have the coriander on hand. I will try this again.

I loved the ease of cooking the pork in the slow cooker, but I did not care for the flavor of the ginger sauce.

Absolutely delicious! ! This was my first time making pulled pork and it was such a success! I didn't have honey on hand so I used sugar instead. Ill be making this again!

My family LOVED this!!! Hubby did it on buns like suggested but my daughter and I had it over rice and it was delicious! We also used a pork loin rather than shoulder or butt.
