This looks super yummy! My family doesn’t eat pork, but I’m definitely going to try this with beef, probably chicken, too.
That’s a great sounding pork dish. I’ve got two huge pork lovers in the house.
Yum that looks good. I love a good product recipe, especially in the slow cooker. The Rice looks super good too!
This sounds so delicious, I can’t wait to try it. I know the house is going to smell so yummy when this is cooking in the crockpot. We’re an out in the country family, too, so the good stuff usually has to be made at home.
That looks so yummy. Wish I had any room after a big Easter dinner.
I cant eat pork sorry. This does look good It would have to be remade for me in a beef or turkey/chicken version!
how easy!! I can save lots of cash on take out, now.
I love pork and Asian food, so it sounds like a great combination for me! I will have to try this one out!
Anything I can fix in a slow cooker and save me some time is okay by me! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This sounds amazing. Love using the slow cooker as much as I can. Can’t wait to try this out. Thanks for sharing.
