Ingredients

  • pork roast
    3 lb
  • sweet bell peppers

    cut into strips, red, orange or yellow

    2
  • teriyaki sauce
    ½ c
  • rice wine vinegar
    2 tbsp
  • garlic
    6 clove
  • red pepper flakes
    2 tsp
  • creamy peanut butter
    ¼ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Trim any large pieces of fat from the pork roast to reduce excessive greasiness and enhance flavor.

  2. 2

    Place the trimmed pork roast, sliced bell peppers, teriyaki sauce, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes into the slow cooker.

  3. 3

    Set the slow cooker on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours, allowing the pork to become tender and flavorful as it absorbs the seasonings.

  4. 4

    Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork directly in the slow cooker. Remove about half of the cooking juices to avoid the dish becoming too soupy.

  5. 5

    Stir the creamy peanut butter into the shredded pork and remaining juices until well combined, enriching the pork with a smooth, nutty taste.

  6. 6

    Serve the Thai style shredded pork over jasmine rice or your preferred variety of rice, and garnish with your choice of toppings such as chopped peanuts, cilantro, teriyaki glaze, Japanese spicy mayo, yum yum sauce, or lime wedges. Enjoy!
