- 4-6 pounds pork shoulder butt roast

Instructions
- Rub the pork roast with the olive oil, then season well with the salt and pepper on all sides. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork roast on all sides, about 3 minutes per side, until browned. This step is optional.
- Transfer the seared pork roast to the slow cooker, then combine all the onion, garlic, canned tomatoes, ginger, fish sauce, chili garlic sauce, spicy brown mustard, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stir well, then pour over the seared pork roast.
- Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, until the meat shreds easily with a fork.
- Serve on sandwich or slider buns, sliced in half horizontally, topped with Asian coleslaw and cilantro.

Notes
- You can skim the fat off the sauce then return the pulled pork to the sauce if you want it extra juicy.
- The nutrition is only for the pulled pork and does not include the buns or coleslaw.
- If you don't have fish sauce, you could substitute soy sauce instead. It's not quite the same, but still good.
