Instructions

1. In a slow cooker, stir the Coca-Cola, hoisin sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil together. Add the garlic and ginger. Rub the Chinese five-spice powder and coarse salt evenly over the pork. Add the meat to the slow cooker, turning to coat evenly. Cover and cook on high until the liquid begins to simmer, about 20 minutes. Adjust the heat down to slow/low and continue cooking for 2 ½ hours. About an hour before the meat is done, stir in the scallions, bell peppers and pineapple. When the meat is tender, remove and tent with foil. When cool enough to handle, remove the bone and cut into cubes. Meanwhile, skim any fat from the surface, stir in the cornstarch, add black pepper and chile oil, if using, and taste to adjust the seasonings. Return the meat to the slow cooker and reheat, if necessary. Serve garnished with sliced scallions.
