BBQ Pork in Slow Cooker (慢炖锅叉烧)

上班一族的好方子，忙人的好帮手。不费劲就可以吃到美味叉烧。

Victor 总喜欢吃唐人街的叉烧， 但我们并不经常去，所以总想着自己做。 用烤炉烤的非常成功，但每次都要花近两个小时。 自从买了慢炖锅后，总想是否可以利用一番。经过多次试验，这是比较成功的。虽然没有唐人街的那么正宗，但像Victor 这么挑剔的人也喜欢上了(也可能是爱屋及乌吧)。

份量：3人
准备时间： 10分钟
烹饪时间：3小时15分钟

材料：
2 磅                               猪里脊肉
2 汤勺                            红糖
1 茶匙                           五香粉
1 茶匙                           香菜粉
1 茶匙                           生姜粉
1 茶匙                           大蒜粉
2 汤匙                           辣椒粉
1/2 茶匙                        桂肉粉
2 汤匙                           料酒
2 条                               葱 (整条)
1 茶匙                            盐
3 滴                               食物红色素

将所有材料放入一大盘中搅匀，装入一拉链袋，挤出袋中的空气并封口。放入冰箱腌过夜。

第二天，准备两汤勺的开水倒入慢炖锅，将腌料袋中的两条葱放到慢炖锅的底部，将腌好的猪肉排放在葱上。 定时3小时。

下班回来，将烤炉预热到华氏480度，取出煮好的猪肉，平铺在烤盘上，置于烤炉的中部； 烤15分钟。 


Victor likes Chinese BBQ Pork. Every time when we go to China Town, that's one of the things for sure on our list.  However we don't go there every often. So I wanted to make my version of BBQ Pork.  I`ve been trying this recipe for few times.  It was either over cooked, no more texture; or too dry, feel like eating pork jerk.

Recent time, it came out pretty good.  It's not exactly alike the one in China Town, but he who is picky alike Victor enjoyed. It's convenient for the working class family.  Prepare the night before, plug on the next morning, will be done by the time you get home from work. Prepare a salad and rice or bread go with.  Voila, here is your quick and yummy dinner. 

Who feels like cooking after long day working?  Try this, it won't disappoint you.
