Cooking Steps

Make Slaw
1

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (TIP: If you have a toaster oven, feel free to skip preheating—you’ll use it to toast the buns in step 3.) Wash and dry all produce. • Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. • In a medium bowl, toss together cucumber, cabbage, vinegar, 1½ tsp sugar (3 tsp for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.

Cook Pork
2

• Tear pulled pork* into smaller pieces if necessary. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add pork and cook, stirring, until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in bulgogi sauce and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until saucy, 1-2 minutes.

Make Sriracha Mayo & Toast Buns
3

• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with Sriracha to taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a separate small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30-40 seconds. • Halve buns. Brush melted butter onto cut sides. • Place cut sides up directly on oven rack (or in a toaster oven) and toast until golden brown, 3-5 minutes.

Serve
4

• Divide buns between plates; spread Sriracha mayo onto cut sides of top buns. Fill buns with pork and a bit of slaw. Serve with remaining slaw on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty bulgogi sauce, though some found it overly sweet or salty; the slaw added a nice tangy crunch 🍲.
  • Ease of prep: Customers loved how quick and simple this meal was to prepare, with many praising the 15-minute cook time.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing sauce or water for less soupiness; toast buns well to prevent sogginess; let slaw marinate longer for better flavor.
  • Portions: Some felt the meal was small, wanting more pork or an additional side dish beyond just the slaw.
  • Meat quality: Several noted the pulled pork was fatty or had an unpleasant texture; using leaner pork or offering ground meat could improve this.
