Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger.
Place the pork tenderloin in the slow cooker and pour the honey soy mixture over the top, ensuring the meat is well coated.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and cooked through.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and set aside to rest.
Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then gradually add it to the simmering sauce.
Continue cooking the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
Slice the pork tenderloin and arrange it on a serving platter.
Drizzle the thickened glaze over the sliced pork and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the soy sauce mixture before cooking. If you prefer a more aromatic flavor, incorporate a star anise pod while slow cooking and remove it before serving. For a citrus twist, replace the apple cider vinegar with orange juice. Leftovers can be used in sandwiches or wraps for a quick meal the next day.
