This was really really good. I only used 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp of soy sauce based on other reviewers' comments. There was no acrid smell coming from the slow cooker (although I was careful to avoid lifting the lid while cooking) and I made a gravy with the juices and some corn starch to thicken. Leftovers made great open-faced sandwiches with cheddar melted on top. This one definitely goes in the recipe box - perfect for a cheap and easy meal, with ingredients (other than the pork) that I always have on hand. I'd recommend re-titling the recipe, however, to something along the lines of "Sweet Teriyaki Slow Cooker Pork Roast" to help manage people's expectations about the flavors of the dish.

This makes a really yummy lunch that's healthy and filling. I followed the recipe to a tee, except I omitted the mint. The honey roasted peanuts are a must in this - they were great!

This was great. Don't skimp on the garlic, and make sure you let it saute long enough in the oil. Also, I agree with one reviewer - adding an herb or spice is critical for flavor, but it doesn't have to be fresh basil. I used a healthy dose (several tbsp) of dried bouquet garni and it was terrific (but fresh basil would probably have been better). I also agree with another reviewer who said crumbled bacon would be a fantastic addition. I'll definitely make this again.
