Ingredients

For the Pork:

2/3 cup tomato sauce
2 Tablespoons Sriracha sauce
3 Tablespoons pineapple juice
1/3 cups honey
2 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 Tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 Tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste (I used about 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon)
1 medium onion diced
4 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon fresh grated or minced ginger
2 pounds pork roast

For the Bowls:

2 cups quinoa cooked
pickled vegetables
1 cucumber thinly sliced
fresh pineapple chunks
lime wedges
fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
fresh mint chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

For the Pork:

In the bottom of a 5-6 quart slow cooker, combine tomato sauce, Sriracha, pineapple juice, honey, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and ginger. Nestle the pork in the middle and spoon sauce over top. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, rotating once during the cooking process, if possible.
Transfer pork to a cutting board and shred using two forks. Return pork to the slow cooker and toss to coat with sauce then squeeze in lime juice.

Divide quinoa into bowls and layer with pork, pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, cilantro and top with mint, sliced jalapenos and a drizzle of Sriracha, if desired.
