• SUCCESS HINT: Although it's tempting, avoid peeking in the slow cooker during cooking. Lifting the lid lets steam escape, and steam helps with the cooking.
• TIME-SAVER: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps seel in the juices, but if you're short on time, you can skip this step.
• SERVE-WITH: Serve this Asian-influenced roast on a bed of hot cooked rice or Asian noodles, along with steamed sugar snap peas.
• NOTE: This is also excellent with Snap Pea Stir-Fry Veggie Mix.
