- ½ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp pink Himalayan salt
- 3 garlic cloves (pressed)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, add in ½ cup coconut aminos, 1 tsp sesame oil, ½ tsp pink Himalayan salt, 3 garlic cloves1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp rice vinegar and 1 ½ lbs. pork tenderloin. Give a good stir.
- Cook on high for 1 ½ to 2 hours or low for 4 to 6 hours.

Notes
- Freezer meal: Place the raw pork tenderloin and all sauce ingredients in a freezer-safe Ziploc or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking. Add 1 extra hour on high or 2–3 extra hours on low when cooking from a cold start. Cook time varies: All slow cookers run differently — use a meat thermometer to check doneness rather than relying on time alone. You're looking for an internal temperature of 145°F at the thickest part. Soy sauce swap: No coconut aminos? Use soy sauce or tamari as a 1:1 substitute. Shred or slice: Both work great. Shredded pork from this recipe is also delicious in tacos or lettuce wraps.
