The rich Asian flavor and aroma of this dish comes from the blend of spices in the broth. Soy sauce, sesame oil, sherry, cinnamon, and ginger not only create a rich base for the noodle dish, but also help the meat simmer thoroughly, leaving it juicy and tender. Brown a piece of pork and place it in a slow cooker for a few hours along with shiitake mushrooms, which also add their own unique flavor, along with the broth and seasonings. By evening, you'll have a fragrant and delicious dinner ready to go—all you need to do is boil some noodles.
