Instructions
- Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken stock, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, black pepper, ketchup, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Add sliced pork chops, frozen broccoli, shredded carrots, and sliced red bell peppers to the slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the ingredients and stir to coat everything thoroughly.

- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top as garnish and serve immediately for a delicious and comforting meal.

- For best results, slice pork chops thinly to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.
- You can substitute chicken stock with vegetable or beef stock if preferred.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce mixture.
- Frozen vegetables make this recipe convenient, but fresh veggies can also be used.
- Cook noodles according to package instructions just before adding them to the crockpot to avoid mushy noodles.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat easily.
