For an extra layer of flavor, try searing the pork shoulder before adding it to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Serve with steamed rice, in soft buns as sliders, or as a filling for tacos and lettuce wraps.

StepIn a saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, chicken broth, pineapple juice, brown sugar, sherry, honey, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes over medium heat. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

StepIn a separate small bowl, create a slurry by whisking together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth. Add the slurry to the saucepan, stirring to incorporate it into the sauce. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

StepPlace the pork shoulder roast in the slow cooker. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce evenly over the pork. (Estimated time: 1 minute)
