Ginger Pork
Air freshners? Who needs ’em. All you need to is to turn on your crock pot and cook this flavorful Ginger Pork.
Take in the smell and relaxing instead of slaving away in the kitchen. Don’t lift a finger.

Can I substitute olive oil for the seasame? I don’t want to ruin the flavor of such a great looking dish. Unfortunately we are trying to keep our budget super trim. Thanks!
@Brionee Sorry, do NOT substitute olive oil for sesame, the two oils are very distinct!
Yum, looks awesome! Can pork shoulder be used instead?
@Chritine Pork shoulder is the same as pork butt, believe it or not. So yes!
Silly question but it’s in all honesty that I don’t know because as much as I love using my slow cooker, there’s still much to learn. But I wanted to know if I can put the pork butt in the cooker frozen or is it supposed to be understood that meats always go in defrosted?
Defrosted is best. Small pieces like chicken breasts are ok frozen, but it definitely affects the moisture in the pot.
Always use defrosted meat in a slow cooker unless noted otherwise.
