For an even deeper flavor, sear the pork roast in a hot skillet on all sides before placing it in the slow cooker. If you don't have sake, you can substitute with dry sherry or rice wine vinegar, but the flavor will be slightly different. Shred the pork directly in the slow cooker using two forks. This allows the meat to absorb even more of the flavorful sauce. Serve the shredded pork over rice, noodles, or in slider buns for a delicious and versatile meal. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flair.
