Hey all - Tamar's mom Jan here. Wanted to share what we tried last week with a roast that was a bit different flavor than our usual. Daughter-in-law Taylor passed this recipe along and I'm glad she did! I didn't have Chinese 5 or chili paste either one in the pantry...let alone coconut milk or miso. But branching out a bit with the spices gave us a new and unique way to fix roast in the crockpot. We really liked it!
A definite Asian flavor to this one and I suggest you "tweak" it until its as spicy (chili paste) or sweet (Chinese 5) as you like. Next time I will go a little spicier. Taylor had thrown in broccoli and carrots but I didn't have any broccoli so peas and carrots was my version.
