    1 Combine first 10 marinade ingredients in a large bowl, and whisk until combined.

    2 Place pork, then carrots and silver beet in slow cooker. Pour over marinade. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

    3 Remove pork from slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Cover with tin foil to keep warm. Using a slotted spoon, transfer veges to a dish and cover with tin foil.

    4 Replace lid of slow cooker and increase heat to high for 15 minutes, or until sauce thickens a little.

    5 Cook rice according to packet instructions.

    6 Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add oil, then stir-fry remaining vegetables. Stir for 2 minutes, then add second measure of soy sauce and sesame oil and stir in. Continue to stir for another 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    7 Shred pork from bone with two forks, then serve with carrots, silver beet, rice, stir-fried vegetables and sauce.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check stock, sauces and five-spice are gluten free.

    HFG tip

    This is a large recipe, so you can scale down the rice and vegetable sides to serve fewer people. The leftover meat and sauce keep well for pork wraps, tacos or burgers, served with coleslaw or salad.
