Pork with Soy-Ginger Sauce; and Cucumber-Ginger Salad

This is a good recipe for a hot day when you have random vegetables you want to use up. You can use, say, some summer squash chunks, a few green beans, and part of a leftover onion. It cooks in the slow-cooker, so it doesn't heat up your house. You serve it over short-grain rice and have a cucumber ginger salad on the side.

This would also be good with chicken instead of pork.
