Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless pork sirloin roast visible fat trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup cane vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup water for pork
  • 6 garlic cloves smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp neutral oil
  • 1 lb green cabbage cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 3/4 cup dry brown rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water for rice

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork for 5 minutes, turning; transfer to a 4-quart slow cooker.
  2. Add vinegar, soy sauce, 1/3 cup water, garlic, bay leaves, and pepper. Cover; cook on low about 6 hours until pork is fork-tender and reaches at least 145°F.
  3. During the final hour, bring rice and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a covered saucepan. Reduce to low; cook 40 to 45 minutes. Rest covered 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer pork to a plate; remove bay leaves. Pour liquid into a small saucepan and skim excess fat. Simmer 5 to 8 minutes until reduced to about 3/4 cup; return pork to sauce.
  5. Steam cabbage, covered, over simmering water for 8 to 10 minutes until tender.
  6. Divide pork, sauce, rice, and cabbage among 4 plates. Rest cooked pork at least 3 minutes before eating.
