Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: Korean
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • ½ C brown sugar
  • ⅓ C low-sodium soy sauce
  • ½ C diced red onion
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, diced (or 2-4 T Sriracha sauce)
  • 2 T grated fresh ginger root (or 1 T dried ginger)
  • 1 T rice wine vinegar
  • 2 T sesame seeds (plus more for serving)
  • 3 T minced garlic
  • 3 lb pork tenderloin
  • Limes and chopped cilantro for serving
Instructions
  1. Combine the sugar, soy sauce, red onion, jalapenos, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and garlic in a small bowl.
  2. Place the pork in a crock pot, cover with the sauce, and place lid on pot.
  3. Cook for 7 hours on low. When the pork can be easily shredded with a fork, break it into large pieces.
  4. Continue to cook for another 30 minutes without the lid so the sauce thickens. Finish shredding the pork.
  5. Serve the shredded pork in tacos, grain bowls, or in lettuce wraps. We eat this in corn tortillas with cilantro, seseme seeds, fresh squeezed lime juice, and sriracha on top.
