Preparation

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the honey, maple syrup, soy sauce, ketchup, hoisin, garlic, Dijon, rice vinegar and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat.
Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and reduces by a third. It stays pourable, that’s normal.
Meanwhile, heat half the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the tenderloins with salt and pepper, then sear them 3 to 4 minutes per side, 10 to 12 minutes total. You want a deep caramelized crust all over.
Put the tenderloins in the slow cooker without overlapping them. Pour the hot sauce over them and add the rest of the olive oil.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, until the pork shreds easily with a fork. Five hours at my place.
Shred the meat right in the slow cooker with two forks, then stir to coat it in the sauce.
Serve hot, topped with green onions and sesame seeds.
