Cafe Rio Pork
This is a reasonable facsimile of a Tex Mex barbacoa delight JL and I enjoyed in college.
Pork Loin or Pork Roast
Sauce: 18 oz Coca-Cola Classic (do not use diet or generic)
1 Cup sugar
1 7 oz can Chipotle Chilies in ADOBO Sauce (since you use the sauce and not the chilies, it is important that you get exactly that.)
1 tsp dry ground mustard – heaping
1 tsp minced garlic.
Remove chilies from the can of adobo sauce. Rinse chilies with the coke to get all the sauce. Discard. Also rinse can with coke to get all remaining sauce. Put all ingredients in blender. Blend, pour over pork in crock pot and cook on low for 7-9 hours. After cooking, pull apart with forks into bite size pieces. Leave in sauce while you serve it.
Dressing:
1 envelope Buttermilk ranch dressing
1 cup milk
1 cup mayonaise
1/2 bunch cilantro
2 tomatillos
2 serano peppers with seeds removed.
Coarse chop and blend all together in blender. Let sit & chill to thicken.
Serve with raw flour tortillas, fried tortilla strips and salsa. Grilled the tortillas, sprinkle cheese on them and put beans (black, Pinto or refried) in with the rice. Used chopped leafy lettuce, the pork, guacamole, sour cream, strips, and the dressing. Works well for big groups.

Gyoza
This is a recipe from my Japanese cousin-in-law who is an incredible cook.
1 lb ground pork
2 c minced cabbage
1/2 c minced green onions
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp sugar
1 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp juice extracted from grated ginger
3 cloves of garlic, grated
gyoza skins
Dipping Sauce: Equal parts soy sauce and vinegar
Combine ingredients and make dumplings with gyoza skins using small pleats to seal.
In an oiled non-stick pan, fry gyoza over medium heat until bottoms are golden brown and a little crispy. Add just enough water so that it doesn’t collect in the bottom of the pan and cover 7-8 minutes to steam them.
