Pork

Sliders

Optional toppings

Method

Cooking the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with Hawaiian sea salt evenly on all sides.

  2. 2

    Add Liquid Smoke

    Drizzle the liquid smoke over the pork and rub it in with your hands to ensure it is well-coated.

  3. 3

    Slow Cook

    Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker and add 1 cup of water. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the pork using two forks and return it to the slow cooker to soak in the juices.

Preparing the Sliders

  1. 5

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Toss until the coleslaw is well-coated.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sliders

    Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half. Place a generous amount of shredded kalua pork on the bottom half of each roll. Top with a spoonful of coleslaw and add any optional toppings such as sliced jalapeños or pickles.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Place the top half of the rolls on each slider and serve immediately while warm.
