Slow Cooked Soy Braised Pork Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Put coconut oil in a container and microwave for a few seconds to melt. (Coconut oil melts at a very low temperature so it will only take 5 to 10 seconds.)
• 2. Massage pork with some of the coconut oil.
• 3. In a frying pan, add the rest of the coconut oil. Fry meat for 4 minutes on each side. Remove meat and place into the slow cooker, fat side up.
• 4. In the same frying pan, add the braising stock ingredients in with the remaining oil. Simmer for a few minutes.
• 5. Then add the remainder of ingredients and warm for 1 or 2 minutes.
• 6. Pour over the meat in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours (or 8-10 hours on low). Baste 2 or 3 times during cooking.
• 7. Sans Crock Pot, you could also cook this in a roasting pan in a 325-350 oven for the same amount of time.

Steps:

• Place the pork in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover and cook on low until the pork is very tender and shreds easily with a fork, 8 to 9 hours; it will hold well on warm. (If you are home and able to flip the pork once during cooking, that will help the flavors distribute evenly on the meat and make the color uniform. If not, it will be fine.)
• Using tongs, transfer the pork from the slow cooker to a serving platter or large, shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid, if desired. Carefully pour the sauce into a large pot. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely shred the pork using two forks.
• Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, tossing to evenly combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the pork in a large Dutch oven that has a lid. Scatter the garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and lime zest over the top. In a measuring cup, whisk together the tamari, honey and sesame oil, then pour it over the pork. Using tongs, turn to coat all sides of the pork in the sauce, and spoon some over the top so that some of the garlic and ginger is on top of the pork. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours.
• Uncover the pot and flip both chunks of pork. Cover the pot and braise until the pork shreds easily with a fork, about 1 more hour. Transfer to the stovetop.
• Using tongs, transfer the pork to a serving platter or a large shallow serving bowl. Using a ladle, skim and discard the excess fat off the surface of the cooking liquid remaining in the Dutch oven, if desired. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, about 8 minutes.
• While the sauce simmers, coarsely shred the pork using two forks. Sprinkle the lime juice over the top of the meat. Drizzle about half the sauce over the top of the shredded meat, then toss to combine. Serve over rice or noodles or in lettuce cups. Top with sesame seeds, scallions and cilantro. Pass the remaining sauce at the table, if desired, as well as extra lime wedges and red-pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add pork belly; cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Heat vegetable oil and brown sugar in a wok or large skillet over medium heat until sugar is melted. Add pork; cook until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes. Add dark soy sauce; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer pork mixture to a slow cooker. Add rice wine, light soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and star anise. Pour in enough water to just cover the pork.
• Cook on Low until pork is tender, about 6 hours. Add diced chicken substitute, hard-boiled eggs, and more water to cover.
• Cook on Low until eggs absorb cooking liquid, rotating halfway through, about 1 hour more.

Steps:

• Cut the pork loin into six equal pieces and place into a 3 1/2 qt crock pot. Cut ginger in three slices and add to meat. Add the remaining ingredients. Cook on low 6 hours or high 3 hours.
• Remove the pork to a plate. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick, the ginger and the garlic cloves. Transfer the liquid to a pot over high heat and simmer until reduced and slightly thickened and glossy.
• Slice pork 1/4"-1/3" thick and serve with thickened sauce.

Steps:

• Fry meat cubes in hot oil until lightly browned.
• Add onion and garlic.
• Reduce heat and saute for 5 minutes, until onion is soft.
• Combine soy sauce, sugar, and water.
• Stir into meat mixture.
• Simmer, covered, 40 minutes.
