Slow Cooked Thai Pulled Pork

Slow Cooked Thai Pulled Pork

Originally cooked by http://www.letsdishrecipes.blogspot.com/

Ingredients:
2 lb. pork loin
1 cup teriyaki sauce
4 Tbls. rice vinegar
2 tsp. chili sauce
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 cups snow peas
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Cooked rice or rice noodles

If freezer cooking, place all items from the pork through the garlic in one Ziploc bag and the bell peppers and snow peas in a separate bag and freeze.  Thaw pork, keeping vegetables frozen, and follow the directions below.

Place pork and marinade ingredients into a slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours.  Keep vegetables frozen until ready to use.  Shred the pork. 

Before returning the pork to the remaining sauce, whisk 2/3 cup peanut butter into the sauce.  Add the shredded pork back in as well as the vegetables.  Cook an additional 30 minutes to one hour.

Serve over rice or rice noodles, garnished with roasted peanuts.

Food for thought:
Our family thought this was delicious but could use a little more kick... maybe just another tsp. of chili sauce or served with some siracha sauce.  Also, we preferred the flavor of the snow peas to the peppers so perhaps cut the amount of peppers in half and increase the snow peas by a cup.  The pork in this turns out so tender and delicious!  It has definitely become a new favorite.
