- (2 TB) Cornstarch
- (1 tsp) Fresh grated ginger

Directions
You can mix all the first step ingredients in a bowl then pour over the uncooked meat. You can even omit this step and mix it all in the crock, then add the meat and sliced onions.
Don’t want to slice the onions in the morning? Then slice them the night before and place them in a container. I have made this with both a pork roast and pork tenderloin. Both turned out very well!
