Don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you in this one (most of them are repeats anyway). It’s still totally easy to make. You can find all the ingredients in the Asian section of your supermarket. Seriously, they should all be pretty easy to find. The lemon grass paste is sometimes found in the produce section.
This pork is full of great Thai flavors like coconut milk, red curry, and ginger. It is one of those meals that smells great as it cooks all day and requires very little prep time at all. With a slaw that is packed full of vegetables, it has a fresh light Thai feel, all with the ease of the slow cooker.
I really hate grating ginger. It’s kind of like running nails over a chalk board to me. Instead, I give mine a rough chop and run it through my garlic press. It is such a simple solution! You get so caught up in calling it a garlic press that you forget it can do other things as well.
Looks like a great recipe! Do you add the coconut milk mixture to the slow cooker? Or add to the meat after?
Thank you,

Yes, pour it over the meat and let it cook on low for 8 hours.
I don't use a slow cooker but I'd love to just braise this in the oven – looks fantastic!!
Definitely can be done! A fresh braise is always delicious!
