Method

  1. Lightly oil the inside of a slow cooker; place on high setting.
  2. Rub pork tenderloin evenly with spice rub.
  3. Add pork to slow cooker.
  4. In small bowl, add all of the glaze ingredients and whisk with a fork to blend.
  5. Pork glaze ingredients over pork. Replace slower cooker lid and start cooking.
  6. After 2 hours, reduce heat to low and continue to cook for another 2 hours.
  7. To make slaw, add cabbage, kale and carrots into medium size bowl.***
  8. In a separate small bowl, whisk slaw dressing ingredients: olive oil, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce / tamari, sesame oil and rice vinegar.
  9. Drizzle dressing over cabbage, kale and carrots, mixing to evenly distribute dressing. Garnish slaw with sesame seeds and sliced green spring onions. Set aside.
  10. When pork is done cooking, shred the meat with 2 forks. Set aside.
  11. Heat up corn tortillas (2-3 per person) by placing in lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat or in a preheated 175 °C / 350 °F oven on a lightly oil baking tray. Heat tortillas for just a 2-3 minutes. You want them lightly browned but still soft and flexible to fold.
