Slow Cooker Shoyu Pork

I didn't like the flavor of this by itself but once I added bbq sauce it was very good. The pork comes out nice and juicy.

Just made this as part of our Christmas dinner. This was not the first time that I've mad an Okinawan pork dish. This time, I omitted the tomato sauce and used mirin instead. It was a hit.

Wonderful recipe for the slow cooker and something different with pork. I made it just like the recipe however I marinated it in the liquid ingredients overnight. I then took a portion of the of the liquid when it was done and made a thickened sauce with cornstarch. Great sauce to go on top of a serving or on the side.

I didn't cook in slow cooker. In the oven for 40 mins per pound. My guess loved it. I will make it with chicken thighs also.

OUTSTANDING! Tender and so good, family raved and wanted more. We made with Crown Royle instead of sake. Used a 16 oz can of tomato sauce too.

We were not impressed with this. The meat didn't take on the flavor of the sauce, more like all the flavor of the meat cooked out into the sauce. There was way too much cooking liquid and it was very thin / watery. The meat itself just tasted like over cooked pork.

Used white wine since I didn’t have any sake. I was just looking for a way to cook pork butt other than making barbecue; I wasn’t expecting much, but this was great! I absolutely will make again!

I'm making this again today! (It'll be my second time making it.) It is really easy to make and has a nice flavor! The whole family enjoyed it last time! My picky eater even liked it! I'm going to serve it with rice and green salad.

I definitely will be making this again. Aloha soy sauce is the way to go.

#1) I do agree that there is too much liquid, cut the ingredients by 1/2, omit the sake and add in some ginger .......
then you have Hawaiian style teriyaki!
#2) Cut the meat up into 2 inch chunks and marinate overnight in the fridge.
#3) In response to those that say it's 'overcooked' I say it's suppose to be well done, it's how I do BBQ pulled pork for sammies, cut up pork shoulder covered in my BBQ rub and cooked til tender,
about 4 hrs on low, 6-8 hrs on high.

I LOVE this recipe! I made two of them and served it for a dinner for 10. Everyone loved it! I also threw in some grape tomatoes and thickened the broth slightly with cornstarch. I served it with rice for my gluten free friends and with ciabatta rolls for the others. I made a pineapple bread pudding as a side. Neighbors brought deviled eggs and a salad. Terrific dinner!

Too much sauce & tastes too much like soy sauce. Pork didn't seem to take on any flavor. However, I've never made a pork roast before, so the bright side is this recipe gave me a simple place to start from though.
