Banh Mi Tacos With Pulled Pork Recipes

Steps:

• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt; cook pork in oil until well caramelized and cooked through. Stir together 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Drizzle over pork in skillet, stirring occasionally, until glaze is absorbed and caramelized on pork. Remove from heat; keep warm.
• In medium bowl, mix Pickled Slaw ingredients; set aside.
• In small bowl, mix Sriracha Mayonnaise ingredients. Divide pork among tortillas, and top each with slaw, using slotted spoon. Top with mayonnaise, chiles, cilantro and cucumber.

Steps:

• For the pork: Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Sprinkle the pork shoulder liberally with salt and pepper. Roast until the meat falls apart easily with a fork, basting every 30 minutes, 6 hours.
• For the pickles: Meanwhile, combine 2 cups water, the sugar, vinegars and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and add the carrots and daikon. Let cool, then refrigerate for 4 hours.
• For the sauce: Combine the hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, brown sauce, ginger, sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, Sriracha and garlic and mix well.
• Let the pork cool slightly, then shred the meat and mix with the sauce. Mix together the carrot and daikon pickles with the green onions and sesame seeds to taste.
• Heat the tortillas in a dry pan, and then top with the pork and carrot and daikon pickle mixture. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the fish sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, garlic, shallot, 2 teaspoons salt, a few grinds of black pepper and 1/4 cup cold water. Blend until smooth. Place the steak in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag, seal, and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine the granulated sugar, vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 cup cold water in a small saucepot. Bring to a boil and then pour the hot pickling liquid over the carrots and jicama. Let sit until cooled to room temperature. Use at room temperature or refrigerate, covered, for later use.
• Prepare a grill for high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Grill the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium. Remove from the grill, let rest for 5 minutes, and then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Warm the tortillas in a dry saute pan or in a 350-degree oven, wrapped in a foil pouch, for 10 minutes (you can also heat them over a gas burner until charred in spots). Spread some of the mayonnaise on one side of each tortilla. Top with some steak, cucumbers, chiles and pickled carrots and jicama. Sprinkle with cilantro and cotija.
