I seriously think I'm Southern.

Pulled Pork Sliders (because if it's tiny it's fancy, right?)

 Ingredients:

For Pulled Pork Sliders:
  • 1/3 lb pork shoulder
  • 2~4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2~4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2~3 ounces tomato sauce
  • Chili Flakes (optional)
  • 4 Biscuits (from Southern Fried Chicken, not pictured)



For Peach Slaw:
  • 1/8 head nappa cabbage
  • 1 carrot
  • 1/8~1/4 cup milk
  • ¼ jalapeno, ribbed and seeded

1) Cut pork into 1 inch cubes.

2) Place in pan and sear off all edges.

3) In a small pot add all remaining ingredients plus about 3 ounces of water. Taste concoction; add more sugar or soy sauce depending on personal preference.

4) Add meat. Simmer for about an hour.

5) Once cooked and tender take two forks and pull meat apart.


Side note I: If you want you can use your hands or just use a knife to chop the meat up.

6) Place an equivalent amount on each biscuit, split in half.

While pork is simmering:
1) Chop nappa cabbage, peach, carrot, and jalapenos.

2) Combine vinegar, sugar, and milk.

3) Combine everything. Let sit until pork finishes cooking.
