Add the chicken stock, soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, brown sugar and sriracha sauce, bring to a simmer.
Place the brown wallaby meat into the slow cooker and add the liquid from the pan, give it a stir.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and set on a high cook for 3 hours.
(If there is too much liquid at the end of the cook you can place into a large pot and reduce to boost the flavour.)

Garnish with sliced chilli, peanuts and coriander.
