Let's Cook

Step 1.
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and Worcestershire sauce; stir in the chopped garlic. Season the pork pieces with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then add to the slow cooker and toss to coat. Cover and cook until the pork is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork, 4 to 5 hours on high or 6 to 7 hours on low.

Step 2.
Fifteen minutes before serving, in a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cider vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon honey, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the shredded cabbage, pineapple pieces, and chopped scallions, and toss to combine. Fold in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
