We’ve had this recipe multiple times and it is definitely husband approved.  Such a good recipe for when you need a break from cooking chicken this and chicken that.

There is a slaw recipe that goes right along with the pork and I like to make that the night before since it requires a bit of chopping.

Ingredients:

2-twelve ounce pork tenderloins

1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup rice vinegar

3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar

2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

 

Directions:

In a small bowl mix together soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, oil, ginger and garlic.  Place the pork tenderloins in your slow cooker and pour the sauce you just mixed together over the meat.

Cover your slow cooker and let cook for 2 1/2 – 3 hours on high-heat or 5 – 6 hours on low-heat.

Once your pork is finished transfer to a cutting board and leave the cooking liquid in the slow cooker for now.  Cut the meat into 1/2 inch thick slices.

Serve with Asian Slaw (recipe below) and drizzle meat with cooking liquid. (Optional – sprinkle with sesame seeds)
