OKINAWA SHOYU PORK
I think the Okinawans got the slow food concept right on - this was one of my favorite dishes growing up...shoyu pork...eaten over rice, or on top of soba. The soy sauce-marinated, slow-cooked pork with just the right amount of sweet taste (imagine Okinawan brown sugar) is pretty close to perfect...

Steps:
- Place pork belly into a large pot, and cover with water about 1-inch above the pork. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and simmer for 2 minutes. Discard water and fill pot with fresh water about 1-inch above the pork. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the pork begins to soften, about 1 hour.
- Remove the pork from the water, and place on a cutting board. Allow pork to cool for a few minutes, then slice off the thick skin and discard. Cut the remaining pork meat into 1-inch wide slices. Set aside.
- Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, mirin, ginger, and garlic in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the sliced pork belly, then bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low, and place a sheet of aluminum foil directly over the meat and sauce. Simmer uncovered until the pork is tender, 30 to 45 minutes, turning the pork several times to cook evenly.

SLOW-COOKER CHAR SIU PORK
The Asian influence here in the Hawaiian islands inspired my char siu recipe. It's tasty as is, in a bun or over rice. We make it often so we have leftovers to add to fried rice, ramen and salads. -Karen Naihe, Kamuela, Hawaii

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for this dish, as it is flavorful and has a good amount of fat. You can also use pork loin or tenderloin, but they will be less flavorful.
- Brown the pork before cooking: Browning the pork in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor and color.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is made with whole soybeans and has a deep, rich flavor.
- Add some vegetables: Adding some vegetables to the slow cooker with the pork will help to create a more balanced and flavorful dish. Good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours: The pork needs to cook for a long time in order to become tender and flavorful. Cook it on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is fall-apart tender.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker shoyu pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. Serve it over rice or noodles, or with a side of vegetables.
