This pork comes out tender and delicious, and the sauce has a great combo of sweet and spicy flavors. This is great with fried rice or just plain white rice. (I used a 5 quart crock pot for this recipe) Enjoy!

Time 3h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 lbs pork tenderloin, cut in bite sized chunks
12 ounces fresh button mushrooms, quartered
1 cup leek, thinly sliced (washed well first, as they can be sandy)
2 cups carrots, cut into rounds (I like to cut them on the bias to look pretty & you don't need to peel them)
2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, sliced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/8 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over med/high heat.
  • Saute the tenderloin chunks quickly for about 5 minutes(watching them closely to not burn the outsides of the meat) to get some color on them. This will get rid of a little fat and liquid from the meat as well.
  • With a slotted spoon, scoop out the meat and place in your slow cooker, discard any fat or liquid from the meat cooking.
  • Add the mushrooms, leeks, carrots, water chestnuts, and garlic to your slow cooker also.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, chili sauce, hoisin sauce, dry sherry, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper.
  • Pour sauce mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker, and stir to coat everything well.
  • Cover with lid, put your slow cooker on High and cook for 2 1/2 hours.
  • After 2 1/2 hours, mix the cornstarch and water in a small cup until smooth, and add it to the mixture in your slow cooker.
  • Stir for a couple minutes, until you see the sauce thicken slightly, then close lid again and let cook on High for another 30 minutes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I usually make a big batch of pulled pork on the weekend and then use the leftovers to make this dish during the week. It's a quick and easy meal that's always a hit.
