How to Make Hoisin Pork Tenderloin in Your Crock Pot 15
Step 1: Prep the Pork & Rice
- Layer the rice: Spray your crock pot with non-stick oil. Spread rinsed rice evenly at the bottom.
- Season the pork: Rub the tenderloin with salt, pepper, and half the minced garlic. Place it on top of the rice.
Step 2: Mix the Hoisin Glaze
In a bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, ginger, remaining garlic, and ½ cup water. Pour this over the pork.
Step 3: Cook Low & Slow
- Low setting: 6 hours (ideal for all-day cooking).
- High setting: 3.5–4 hours (perfect for quicker meals).
Pro Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches 145°F internally 1.
Step 4: Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
Remove the pork, shred or slice it, then mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp sauce. Stir into the crock pot and cook 15 more minutes on high for a glossy glaze.
