2 pounds pork tenderloin cut into 1-inch chunks (I had 1" 'chops' cut from a loin that I put in frozen, then I took them out and cubed them after they cooked 4 hours)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups sliced red bell pepper
2 TBS white wine vinegar or rice vinegar
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (home made, recipe follows)
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Cooked rice (I'm using wild rice)
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Put tenderloin, garlic, bell pepper, vinegar, teriyaki sauce and red pepper into slow cooker. Cook on Low 8 hours. (If using a newer crock, check it at 4 hours on LOW) If desired, remove meat from pot and shred. Add peanut butter to pot. Add meat. Cook for another 30 minutes. Serve over cooked rice, topped with green onions and chopped peanuts. Makes 6 servings.
Notes: I added 3 cups frozen green peas when I stirred in the peanut butter.
Teriyaki Sauce
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup soy sauce*
3/4 to 1 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1 TBS cornstarch
Combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger and cornstarch; whisk to mix well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens slightly. Cool to room temperature. Yield: about 1-1/2 cups sauce.
Useful Tip: I use Lite soy sauce which has less sodium than regular soy sauce.
