Hoisin Pork Roast

The other we cooked dinner for our friends Stephen and Jamaica who had just had a beautiful baby girl.  We cooked the below Hoisin Pork Roast recipe and they requested the recipe, so I thought I would just post it here.

Hoisin Pork Roast
Beth Hensperger - From Every Day with Rachael Ray
Cook Time: 3 1/2 hr on high heat, 8 hr on low heat


Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1 boneless pork loin roast (about 3 pounds), tied
One 10-ounce jar duck sauce or hoisin sauce (about 3/4 cup)
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chili paste
1 tablespoon rice wine or rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Directions:

• Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray and add the pork roast. In a small bowl, combine the duck sauce, garlic, ginger, chili paste, rice wine, soy sauce and sesame oil. Whisk in the cornstarch. Pour the sauce over the pork.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook the roast until fork-tender and an instant-read thermometer registers 160º, 3 1/2 hours on high heat or 8 hours on low heat. Transfer the pork to a platter, cover with foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Pour the cooking liquid into a bowl and let stand for 10 minutes, then skim any fat from the surface.
• Slice the pork and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle the scallions and cilantro on top. Serve the Asian sauce on the side.
