2 to 2 1/2 lbs chuck roast

1/4 cup brown sugar (consider 3/8 of a cup)

3 Tbsp soy sauce

1/2 cup diced onion

1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar (plus more for serving)

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp freshly grated ginger

1 packed Tbsp minced garlic

Salt and pepper

1/4 or 1/2 head of cabbage

Hot peppers?

  Halve the roast and place the pieces in your slow cooker.

  Sprinkle with brown sugar, soy sauce, onion, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic.

  Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours (depending on how hot your slow cooker cooks) until the meat begins to fall apart and you can easily shred it. 

  Shred the meat and stir all the juices in with the meat.  Salt and pepper to taste and add more vinegar, if desired.  Switch the slow cooker to WARM and cover.

  Dice the cabbage and sprinkle into the meat.  Serve over hot cooked rice.
