Ingredients

How to make it

  • Season the pork with salt and pepper. In the stovetop-safe insert of a slow cooker or in a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Working in batches, add the pork and brown on all sides, 7 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add the sugar, lemon juice and water to the insert or fry pan and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and cook, without stirring, until the mixture is a dark caramel color but not burned, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, pineapple and juices, sake, coarsely ground pepper, ginger, sweet potato and green onion
  • Carefully add the soy sauce mixture to the caramel and return the mixture to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the pork.
  • Transfer the insert to the slow-cooker base. If using a regular slow cooker, transfer the pork and sauce to the cooker. Cover and cook on high according to the manufacturer?s instructions until the pork is tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a warmed platter. If using a slow-cooker insert, set the insert over medium-high heat, bring the sauce to a boil and cook until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. If using a regular slow cooker, transfer the sauce to a saucepan and boil the sauce as directed.
  • Spoon the sauce over the pork and garnish with the julienned green onion. Grind additional pepper on top and serve immediately with steamed white rice. Serves 4.
