This recipe is from a site called Snappy Gourmet; the recipe did not have nutritional information. I "built" the recipe on Weight Watchers and I would guess that it is around 8 points. It is delish; got to serve it for special out of town guests Joyce and the future star of stage and screen, Ali who have been anxiously awaiting this post.
I used a pork tri tip (found at Costco). The recipe called for serving it on tortillas, but I served it on brown rice and we all agreed that the broccoli slaw tasted really good on top of the pork and rice. As you can see, you can substitute chicken for pork. Happy Cooking!
A fun twist on my favorite Chinese dish! Shredded pork in a General Tso sauce, served on tortillas with a broccoli slaw.

Directions:
Whisk
together broth, hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, garlic,
ginger, and red pepper in a slow cooker until well combined.
Add pork to
slow cooker and spoon some sauce over top. Cook on low heat setting for 6-8
hours. Remove pork from slow cooker and shred with 2 forks. Place pork in
serving dish and coat with desired amount of sauce from slow cooker.
Meanwhile, as
pork is cooking, whisk together orange juice, olive oil, and cilantro in
large bowl. Stir in broccoli slaw. Cover and refrigerate until ready to
serve.
To serve, top
tortillas with pulled pork and slaw.
Helpful Tips:
I would
suggest sticking with the reduced-sodium soy sauce so that the dish doesn’t
taste too salty. You can serve the pork and slaw in tortillas or you can also
serve the pork with rice or noodles. You could use chicken legs/thighs
instead of the pork. Instead of the broccoli slaw you can substitute shredded
cabbage or coleslaw mix.

DeleteNow I know what to use that bottle of Hoisin sauce for! Got a whole package of gourmet items from Trader Joe's for Christmas, and Hoisin sauce was in it.
