Ingredients

For the pork:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 lbs pork shoulder cut into 3 chunks
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

For the pickled veggies:

  • 2 carrots shredded
  • 1 small cucumber thinly sliced
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup sugar

For the spicy mayo:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Korean chile paste Gochujang, or Sriracha

Toppings:

  • Cilantro chopped
  • Sliced jalapenos
  • Slider buns

Instructions

  • Turn Instant Pot on to saute function.
  • Add the olive oil. Once hot, add the pork shoulder to the instant pot and cook until brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, broth, brown sugar, fish sauce, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
  • Once pork is browned, turn off saute function.
  • Pour sauce over pork and cover with lid.
  • Cook in the pressure cooker on high for 90 minutes.
  • While the pork is cooking, make the pickled veggies and the spicy mayonnaise.
  • For the veggies, place the carrots and cucumber in a mason jar.
  • Add the vinegar, sugar, and water to a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Once the sugar is dissolved, pour over the veggies.
  • Let it sit at room temperature until ready to use.
  • For the spicy mayonnaise, mix together the mayonnaise and chile paste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Once the pork is done, let the pressure naturally release.
  • Remove the lid and shred the pork with two forks.
  • Assemble the sliders with the pork, pickled veggies, and spicy mayonnaise. Top with cilantro and jalapenos.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I order my Korean chile paste on Amazon, but can also be found at Asian markets. You can substitute Sriracha instead with similar results. Refrigerate any leftover pickled veggies.
