Ingredients
- •Pork Tenderloin, Boneless(1814g)
The leanest pork cut. Do not confuse with pork loin (wider, fattier).
- •1 teaspoon kosher salt
- •1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- •Garlic(360g)
- •Ginger, Fresh Root(30g)
- •Hoisin sauce(397g)
- •Tortilla, Corn, 6-Inch
- •Broccoli Slaw(340g)
- •Peanuts, Dry Roasted(240g)
- •Green Onion (Scallion)
- •Cilantro, Fresh(240g)
- •Olive oil(60g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Vinegar, Rice(30g)
- •Honey(15g)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(15g)
Instructions
- 1Coat a 6-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray. Lightly pat the pork dry, then place in the bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tuck the garlic cloves around the pork, then sprinkle with fresh ginger. Pour the hoisin sauce over the top of the meat.
- 2Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 5 to 7 hours, until the pork is cooked through. Pork tenderloin can easily dry out, so check it a little early to ensure it does not overcook.
- 3Remove the meat to a plate, shred with two forks, then return it to the slow cooker and stir it together with the sauce. Leave in the slow cooker on "warm" until ready to serve.
- 4For the slaw, combine the broccoli slaw, peanuts, scallions, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
- 5In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, and soy sauce. Taste and add additional vinegar, honey, or soy sauce as desired. Pour over the slaw, then toss to combine.
- 6To serve, warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds, covered with a damp towel to keep them moist. Fill with shredded pork, then top with the broccoli slaw. Enjoy!
