SLOW COOKER SWEET AND SOUR PORK CHOPS



Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Pork Chops image

Slow cooking is not a very traditional, but way less messy for these sweet and sour pork chops. It is an easy cold weather meal with some rice and crispy egg rolls, fried noodles, or fried wontons on the side.

Provided by CYNTHIA

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 4h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large onion, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 small green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (4 ounce) jar whole mushrooms, drained
1 cup canned diced pineapple in juice, drain juice and reserve
2 ½ pounds large boneless pork chops or cubed pork loin
1 cup reserved pineapple juice from the can
2 tablespoons sherry wine
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
¼ teaspoon mustard powder
¼ teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 dashes hot pepper sauce, or to taste
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

Steps:

  • Place the onions in the bottom of a 5 quart slow cooker. Layer carrots over the onions, followed by layers of celery, mushrooms, and pineapple. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Place them on top of the vegetables. If you like, you may brown them in a hot skillet first.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the pineapple juice, sherry, cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir in the cornstarch until dissolved. Mix in the brown sugar, white pepper, ginger, mustard powder, garlic, salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce and tomato paste. Pour this over the pork chops and vegetables. The sauce will taste less sharp after a few hours in the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or on High for 3 to 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for this dish, as it is tough enough to withstand the long cooking time and becomes fall-apart tender when cooked properly.
  • Use a good quality sweet and sour sauce: The sauce is the key to this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. You can either make your own or buy a store-bought sauce.
  • Don't overcook the pork: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, but not so long that it becomes dry. The best way to check if the pork is done is to insert a fork into it. If the fork goes in easily, the pork is done.
  • Serve the pork with rice: Rice is the traditional accompaniment to this dish, but you can also serve it with noodles or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked sweet and sour pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
