Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, black pepper, and granulated sugar. Stir until well blended.
  2. Place the boneless pork shoulder in your slow cooker or a heavy pot. Make sure it's positioned securely for even cooking.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture generously over the pork, ensuring every nook and cranny is deliciously coated.
  4. Cover and set your slow cooker to low heat. Let it cook for 8 hours or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
