When life gets busy, finding time to prepare a delicious, home-cooked meal can feel daunting. This recipe combines savory pork and fluffy rice, creating a hearty and comforting meal that is perfect for any weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds pork shoulder or pork loin, cut into chunks
2 cups long-grain white rice
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cut the pork shoulder or pork loin into bite-sized chunks, ensuring even cooking.
In a large slow cooker, add the chunked pork.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and soy sauce over the pork, ensuring all the meat is coated with the liquid.
Next, add the rice to the slow cooker, gently stirring it into the broth and pork mixture. Ensure the rice is submerged in the liquid.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid, set it to low heat, and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, check the rice. If the mixture appears dry, add a splash of chicken broth. Once the rice is cooked and fluffy, and the pork is tender, it’s ready to serve.
