Ingredients
Korean Pulled Pork
- 2 ½ lb Pork butt
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons Gochujang
- 2 tablespoons EACH: honey and soy sauce
Quick Pickled Vegetables
- ½ cup EACH: julienned carrots, sliced cucumbers, and julienned daikon radish
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Sandwich fillings
- 4 Brioche buns buttered
- Kimchi mayo to taste
- Cilantro and mint to taste
Instructions
- Put the pork into your slow cooker. Mix the chicken stock, gochujang, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl and then pour it over the pork. Cook the pork for 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low heat. When it's done, shred it using 2 forks. BONUS: transfer the liquid from the slow cooker into a pot and boil it hard until it thickens. You can drizzle this in your sandwich for extra flavor!
- Put the carrots, daikon, and cucumbers into a medium-sized bowl. Bring the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a small pan over high heat and then pour it over the vegetables. Toss to coat then set them aside to pickle. Stir them a few times while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Butter the cut side of the brioche buns and then toast them in a frying pan over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, until they are soft and golden.
- Spread some kimchi mayo on the bottom bun. Top with a generous amount of pulled pork and pickled veggies and then finish with some cilantro and mint on top
Notes
- You will most likely have some leftover pulled pork. If you do, try making this Korean pizza or these Korean burritos!
