  • 6 garlic cloves smashed and peeled
  • 1 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into ½-inch-thick rounds

  • Add the shiitake mushrooms, scallion whites, garlic, and ginger.
  • Sprinkle the pork butt roast with pepper and place it into the slow cooker.

  • Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Add Kombu (Optional):

  • While the pork rests, add kombu to the broth mixture in the slow cooker and cook, covered, on high for 10 minutes.
