Ingredients
- 500–700g pork shoulder or pork loin (cut into chunks)
- 3 large onions (thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 250g egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Start by slicing your onions thinly and mincing the garlic. Cut the pork into medium-sized chunks if it isn’t already prepared.
Tip: Pork shoulder gives a richer, more tender result, while pork loin is leaner.
2. Layer the Slow Cooker
Place the sliced onions at the bottom of your slow cooker. This creates a natural “bed” that prevents the pork from sticking and allows the onions to slowly caramelize.
Add the pork chunks on top of the onions.
3. Add Seasoning and Liquid
Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme over the pork. Then add the garlic.
Pour in:
- Chicken broth
- Soy sauce
- Worcestershire sauce
These ingredients combine to create a deeply savory, slightly sweet broth.
4. Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover and cook on:
- Low for 7–8 hours, or
- High for 4–5 hours
The pork should become fork-tender and easy to shred, while the onions will melt into the broth, creating a rich base.
