Instructions
1 Preheat slow cooker and turn to low. Combine all pork ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
2 Remove pork from slow cooker using a slotted spoon. Skim any fat from remaining sauce or use a fat separator jug. Discard fat.
3 Turn slow cooker to ‘saute’ for 8 minutes. Or place sauce in a pan over a medium heat, bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer for about 8 minutes until sauce is slightly reduced. Add pork to sauce and heat through if necessary.
4 Cook rice following packet directions. Steam or microwave broccoli and kale until tender. Mix sesame oil, soy sauce and water together and use to dress greens. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve pork over rice, with greens on the side.
