~ SWEET & SPICY PORK ROAST ~ SLOW COOKER
My family really enjoyed the sweet and spicy flavor of this pork. So tender you could cut it with a fork. I served mine in slices with a side of macaroni and cheese and a vegetable. This would also be excellent in a sandwich. No matter how you serve it, it's delicious! I believe this would be great on chicken, also. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Rinse and dry pork. Rub with olive oil all over. Mix rub ingredients. I used half of the mix to cover my pork. You can halve the recipe if you like. I made enough to use for another day. Store in a jar with lid.
- 2. Pat the rub evenly over the roast. Place in slow cooker and cover. I cooked mine for 8 hours on low and let set for another hour on warm, covered. Or, cook until desired tenderness. This could be done on a low temperature in your oven as well. I'm sure you could cook it on high for a couple hours, then low until good and tender.
- 3. After carving, I ladled some juices from slow cooker, over the meat. Yum! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Turn on an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and allow to preheat.
- Combine paprika, salt, ground ginger, and white pepper in a small bowl. Rub tenderloins on all sides with the mixture.
- Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a separate bowl; you should have 2 cups, the recommended amount of cooking liquid in an 8-quart pot. Check your owner's manual for recommended liquid amount for other sizes and adjust accordingly.
- Pour avocado oil into the Instant Pot® and heat until shimmering. Add tenderloins to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove tenderloins to a plate, add liquid mixture to the pot, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, stirring all together. Turn off Saute function.
- Place a rack or trivet into the Instant Pot® and place tenderloins on the rack. Close and lock the lid and set vent to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Let pork cook until internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C). Place tenderloins on a cutting board and cover with foil to rest while you make the glaze. Internal temperature should rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove about 3 tablespoons of cooking liquid and set aside.
- Select Saute function and bring remaining cooking liquid in the pot to a boil. Allow to reduce to about 1 cup, 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how much liquid was used for the size of the pot. Add preserves, sambal oelek, grated ginger, garlic, and sesame oil; cook for about 2 minutes.
- Create a slurry of the reserved 3 tablespoons cooking liquid and cornstarch in a small bowl. Continue cooking on the Saute function and add the slurry, stirring constantly until the liquid comes to a boil and thickens slightly. Pour glaze carefully into a container.
- Slice the pork, drizzle with glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro. Serve warm with additional glaze for dipping, if desired.
