Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients
1 (2 pound) pork loin
1 cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
2 cups snow peas
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
2-3 limes, cut into wedges
Cooked rice or rice noodles
Directions
Lightly grease a slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place pork loin in slow cooker. In a medium bowl, stir together the teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, chili sauce, ginger and garlic. Pour the teriyaki mixture over the pork loin. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Whisk the peanut butter into the juices in the slow cooker. Return the pork to the slow cooker, along with the sliced peppers and snow peas and cook for 30-60 minutes more, until vegetables are tender but still crisp. Serve over rice or noodles with green onions, peanuts and lime wedges to garnish.
Let's Dish
I'm fairly certain, being made in a slow-cooker, that this is not authentic Thai cuisine. But it's so good, I just can't bring myself to care. I'm sure you could prepare it more traditionally, without the slow-cooker, but I love the ease and convenience of throwing it in the Crock Pot and not having to fuss over it too much. I don't think it's too spicy, but you can always start with one teaspoon of chili sauce (found in the Asian section of most grocery stores) if you're worried. You can also use red pepper flakes as a subsitution. You can also switch up the vegetables to suit your tastes. I will say that my husband is not a peanut butter fan, so this isn't his favorite dish, but I love it! I usually sneak an entire meal's worth from the pot before we even sit down to dinner.

ReplyDeleteHey Danelle!
ReplyDeleteI'm Chef Corey from Family Fresh Meals. Thai food is my favorite! Like, when people ask... what food could you eat for the rest of your life? Thai food is always my answer. So excited to try this recipe! Anywho, I just started a new recipe Linky called Sunday Funday.This recipe would be perfect for the first week theme CROCKPOT. Each week will be a new theme. Once this Sunday Funday gets going, I would LOVE to do a random gift card giveaway each week. But I am going to need a good amount of posts to start that, so come join the fun each week. At the end of the week, a recipe/blog will be picked at random to be the featured recipe for the following week. Hope you stop by and join!
