Made this last night for dinner. This was really good and easy to put together. Was even better today in sandwiches. Will make this again.
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
2 pounds boneless Boston butt pork roast, trimmed
1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
Combine first 8 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Place in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add pork to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Place pork and marinade in an electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Remove pork from slow cooker using a slotted spoon; place on a cutting board or work surface. Cover with aluminum foil; keep warm.
Add broth to sauce in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or until sauce thickens. Shred pork with 2 forks; serve with sauce.
Note: Char siu is a Chinese version of barbecue. Serve with sticky or long-grain white rice and a steamed or stir-fried medley of bell peppers, carrots, snow peas, sliced baby corn, and water chestnuts.

I love char siu! Never tried it in the crock pot but I still have a good 3/4 of a pig to try this with. Well not the whole pig but you get the point.
I love char siu. I have never seen it done in a slow cooker. Looks interesting.
I don't have a slow cooker, so can I cook the meat in the oven instead ?
What can I use as a substitute for the Hoisin Sauce, Helene ? Thanks a lot :)
Hi Nolwenn:
Homemade Hoisin Sauce
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons black bean paste or peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey or molasses
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons sesame oil
20 drops hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Combine all ingredients together.
Worchestersire sauce is like a thin Hosin, at least to my palate.
