  3. 2 cups water
  4. 1/4 cup fish sauce
  5. 2 tablespoons sugar
  6. 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  7. 2 fresh jalapeno chile peppers finely chopped

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim fat from meat. Cut meat into 2 inch pieces. Place meat in a 3&1/2 or 4 quart slow cooker. Top with onions. In a medium bowl combine the water, the fish sauce, sugar, vinegar, the five spice powder, and half of the jalepeno peppers. Pour over mixture in cooker.

  2. 2

    Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high heat setting for 2&1/2 to 3 hours.

  3. 3

    Remove meat from cooker, reserving cooking liquid. Transfer half of the meat to an air tight container or freezer container; cover and chill or freeze for another use. Shred or chop the remaining meat; transfer to a medium bowl. Strain cooking liquid. Stir enough of the strained liquid (about 1/4 cup) into shredded meat to moisten.
