Kalua Pork Sliders with Sriracha Aioli
Saucy Tomatoes
17 minutes
24-36 sliders (large batch)
BeginnerInspired by my recent trip to Hawaii, I just had to make some kalua pork. It's a classic Hawaiian dish, and since I don't have a pig pit in the back yard, a slow cooker will do the trick just fine. Add a nice crisp pickle and some Sriracha aioli and you can just imagine those island winds blowing through your hair. This recipe will yeild an enormous amount of kalua pork. Make some tacos, serve it with kimchi fried rice or just eat it straight up.
