Ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup hoisin sauce 50 mL
- 3 tbsp grated gingerroot 45 mL

- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar

Materials
Slow cooker size: 31⁄2 to 6 quartDirections
- In a bowl, combine hoisin sauce, ginger and honey.
- Place pork roast in slow cooker stoneware and brush with sauce to coat completely.
- Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours, until meat is very tender.
- Transfer pork to a bowl and, using two forks, pull meat into shreds. Skim fat from sauce. Return meat to slow cooker.
- In a bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, green onions and vinegar.
- Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for 10 minutes. To serve, spread about 1⁄3 cup (75 mL) pork mixture down center of each warm tortilla. Top with 1⁄4 cup (50 mL) cabbage mixture. Roll up each tortilla tightly.

Tips
- If you are pressed for time, look for pre-packaged coleslaw mix to use in place of the cabbage and carrot (use about 31⁄2 cups/875 mL).
Fresh Gingerroot
There is no need to peel gingerroot before grating. Use a standard kitchen grater with fine holes. Wrap any unused ginger in plastic wrap and freeze. Frozen gingerroot can be grated without defrosting.

I prepared the recipe exactly as explained, without making any adjustments. The meat was fall-of-the-fork tender and wonderfully tasty! I found though that my wrap, all made up, was slightly "dry". I added some mayo but honey mustard or your favourite salad dressing would work too. The next day we had leftovers on big kaiser buns. This was a huge hit with my husband and teenage boys. I'll be making these again!

I made this last night for my husband. It was so easy to make and he liked it. I have now learned I don't care for ginger and next time will probably leave it out. I used a garlic hoisin sauce instead.
