Slow Cooker Chinese Style Pork Chops
Slow Cooker Chinese Style Pork Chops feature pork chops or roast cooked low and slow in a sweet and savory sauce made with ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. The pork becomes tender and infused with rich, balanced flavors. Onions add a mild sweetness and texture, while cooking in the slow cooker ensures moist, juicy meat suitable for serving with rice and drizzled sauce.

- Turn your slow cooker down to low and cook for 3-4 hours for pork chops and 5-7 hours for a roast.

Notes
- Ensure pork chops are fully thawed before slow cooking for even cooking and safety.
- Turn or move pork pieces during cooking to keep them evenly coated and moist.
- The pork should be submerged in the sauce mixture for juicier, tender results.
- Adjust cooking time if using a pork roast, as it needs longer than chops to become tender.
- Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to confirm doneness.
- Serve pork chops topped with the sauce along with rice.
