Directions
Char Sui
Combine all but pork and water in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Place in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add pork to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.

Place pork and marinade in an electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Remove pork from slow cooker using a slotted spoon; place on a cutting board or work surface. Cover with aluminum foil; keep warm.

Add water to sauce in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or until sauce thickens. Shred pork with 2 forks; serve with sauce and vegetables over rice.

Rice
Add the water and butter to a medium size pot.  Bring to a low boil and add the rice.  Stir to combine, then place the lid on the pot and cook according to package directions.  Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

Stir Fried Green Beans with Mushrooms, Ginger, and Garlic
Add 1 c. water to wok or saute pan. Bring to a boil and then add the green beans. Cover and let steam for 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain the beans, wipe the wok dry and return wok to the stove.

Heat the wok over high heat and swirl in the cooking oil. When very hot, add in the onions and mushrooms and stir fry for 3 minutes. Turn the heat to medium, add in the cooked green beans, ginger and the garlic and quickly stir fry for an additional 30 seconds or until fragrant. Take care not to burn the ginger or garlic.

Deglaze the pan with remaining water. Cook for 1 minute.
