Slow Cooker Asian Pot Roast

Start the week off with easy and delicious with this Slow Cooker Chinese Pot Roast.  A fun Asian inspired twist on your classic pot roast recipe.

Some other fun pot roast variations include this BBQ Pot Roast and a yummy Southwestern Pot Roast that is also made in the slow cooker.

Chinese Pot Roast

I love a good pot roast done in the slow cooker. Not just because it’s easy and delicious but I also love the way my house smells when it’s cooking.  It is comfort food at it’s finest and all seems right with the world when there is a pot roast cooking away.

Over the years I’ve shared lots of different pot roast recipes.  From your classic Sunday pot roast – The Perfect Slow Cooker Pot Roast to lots of fun variations on a theme.  Slow Cooker Parmesan Honey Pork Roast is one of the most pinned and viewed posts on my blog or spice it up a bit with Southwestern Pot Roast.

Today I’ve got another fun flavor variation for you and this one has an Asian twist to it.

Asian Pot Roast

The recipe uses some fun Asian flavors you can find on the Asian aisle of your local grocery store, including soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Asian chili sauce, and Five Spice Powder.  Don’t let these ingredients scare you away. They are all things I keep in my pantry.  But if you don’t, they are easy to find in your grocery store.  I even have a make at home version of hoisin sauce if you’d prefer to make your own.

How to Make Asian Pot Roast

The roast is sprinkled with the Five Spice Powder and placed in the slow cooker over the carrots and the parsnips.  You could also use potatoes or turnips if you’d like. Then the sauce is poured over the top and it cooks for 7 hours on low.  The meat gets so nice and tender and the flavor is delicious!  Just shred the meat up and serve it over rice and garnish with green onion.  Pour some of the leftover sauce over the top for extra flavor and moisture

Just don’t wait until Sunday to make this!  It’s the perfect meal for any night.
