Korean Shredded Pork
● 2 pounds boneless pork loin
● 2⁄3 cup hoisin sauce (gluten-free, if needed)
● 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (gluten-free, if needed)
● 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
● 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
● 4 garlic cloves, minced

Directions
1. First make the Korean Shredded Pork.
2. Place the pork loin in the bottom of a slow cooker. Whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and green onions. Pour on top of the pork loin.
3. Cook, covered, on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours.
4. 30 minutes before pork is finished, bring the quinoa and two cups of water to a simmer in a medium sauce pan. Cover and reduce the heat. Cook until all the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked—about 20 minutes.
5. In a wok or skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and remaining vegetables. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until tender.
