ASIAN BBQ PULLED PORK SLIDER SANDWICH RECIPE WITH APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Begin by seasoning the butt. Heavily salt and pepper the butt while massaging into the meat.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat.
• Add oil to the bottom of the pan and quickly add in your pork butt. Let the meat sear for a few minutes until the exterior is crispy and golden.
• Continue flipping and browning the meat until most of the sides are crispy.
• Put your browned pork butt in a large crock pot and add the grated pear, the soy sauce and the Kirin beer.
• Let the pork butt cook over low heat for at least 6 hours or until the meat is tender and practically falling off the bone.
• In a large bowl, combine the mayo, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and salt and mix until smooth.
• Add in the cabbage, apple, carrots and red onion and stir.
• Let sit for 20 minutes before using.
• Split and broil your buns in the oven until lightly golden.
• Evenly distribute the pork, the asian bbq sauce, the slaw and lastly the sweet and spicy pickles.

ASIAN PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• Make the Tri-Color Asian Slaw: Put all ingredients in a bowl and toss well. Let the slaw sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
• Make the sliders: Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Put the pork, soy sauce, red onion, and ginger in a large bowl and stir together to incorporate. Form 8 patties, using 3 to 4 tablespoons of pork mixture in each one and shaping them 1/2-inch thick. Be sure not to overwork or overhandle the mixture.
• Grill the burgers over direct heat, turning once, until fully cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
• Toward the end of the sliders' grilling time, grill the buns: Slice them in half if necessary, then grill the cut sides until lightly marked and lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
• Let the sliders rest on a platter or cutting board for 5 minutes after grilling, then set 1 slider in each bun and top with Tri-Color Asian Slaw. Serve.

ASIAN PORK SLIDERS WITH TOASTED SESAME MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Whisk the mayonnaise, sesame oil, and seasoned rice vinegar together in bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Mix the panko, egg, soy sauce, mustard, and garlic powder together in a medium bowl. Add the pork, sugar, salt, and the ground black pepper. Mix until evenly combined. Gently form the mixture into 16 golf ball-sized balls, then press each ball into a 1/2-inch thick patty. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about half of the oil. Cook the patties, in batches, until cooked through and golden brown, about 3 minutes a side. Tuck the patties into the rolls and top with the reserved sesame mayonnaise and lettuce. Serve.

SWEET AND SOUR PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• For the slaw: Toss the green cabbage, red cabbage, vinegar, oil, salt pepper and green onions in a medium bowl to blend. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the pork.
• For the pork: In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, pepper, garlic, ginger and orange zest to blend. Add the pork tenderloin and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the pork from the marinade. Reserve the marinade. Place the pork on a nonstick heavy baking sheet and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour the marinade into a heavy medium saucepan and whisk in the arrowroot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and cool slightly.
• Transfer the pork tenderloin to a work surface and cut crosswise into 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick slices. Divide the pork among the bottom halves of the rolls. Top the pork with sauce and slaw. Cover with the top halves of the rolls and serve.

ASIAN INSPIRED PULLED PORK SHOULDER (FOR TACOS OR SLIDERS)

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan add the following items: hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, ½ cup of water, sesame oil, mirin, shaoxing rice wine, lemongrass fresh, ginger, garlic, and the Chinese five spice powder.
• Whisk together. Reserve 1/4 cup for basting and set the pan with the rest of the sauce on the stove over low hit to thicken. About 30 min, whisking occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
• Place onion chunks in bottom of crock pot and set as low. Salt and pepper the pork on both sides and place on top of the onions.
• Baste top and sides of pork with the reserved sauce. Add the lid and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-5 hours on high. You will know it's done when it is falling apart. YUM!
• Add the cooled Korean inspired BBQ sauce reduction to a magic bullet or blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. Will keep in fridge for 2 weeks.
• I use this for Asian pork tacos or pulled pork sliders. Serve either one topped with shredded green and purple cabbage, thinly slices quick-pickled radishes and cucumbers, green onion, cilantro and basil. Dress with a drizzle of spicy sriracha aioli and a drizzle of the Korean inspired BBQ sauce reduction.
