Slow-Cooker Char Siu Pork

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + marinating Cook: 5 hours YIELD: 8 servings.
The Asian influence here in the Hawaiian islands inspired my char siu recipe. It’s tasty as is, in a bun or over rice. We make it often so we have leftovers to add to fried rice, ramen and salads. —Karen Naihe, Kamuela, Hawaii
