Time 8h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 -2 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce (found in the Asian aisle of the supermarket)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder (optional)
kosher salt and black pepper
2 1/2 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 medium head bok choy, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
2 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine the soy sauce, sugar, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, five-spice powder (if using), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the pork and toss to coat. Cook, covered, until the pork is tender, on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours.
  • Twenty-five minutes before serving, cook the rice according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, skim off and discard any fat from the pork. Gently fold the bok choy into the pork and cook, covered, until heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve with the rice and sprinkle with the scallions.
