Notes
Use coconut aminos to eliminate soy. I find the coconut aminos a bit expensive so I do use tamari on occasion.
Eliminate the fiber syrup if you'd like to cut back on total carbs in this sweet pork recipe. You can sub it out with some more stevia or monk fruit. Or, just leave it less sweetened.
Sear the pork before you slow cook it. This one step will lock in the juices and prevent the pork from drying out.
