Slow Cooker Korean Pulled Pork Sliders

Sweet, salty and slightly spicy Slow Cooker Korean Pulled Pork Sliders with quick pickle vegetables.

Slow Cooker Korean Sliders | My Kitchen Love

I’m sharing this epic slow cooker recipe – Korean Pulled Pork Sliders that I’ve had on the back burner. Big bold flavours with the perfect amount of heat so the whole family can enjoy it. Plus, it’s conveniently made in the slow cooker!

I love pulled pork and could eat them in burritos and tacos on repeat,  but there are only so many burritos my family will take. I needed a fresh recipe to entice my family back to the table. The pulled pork here is sweet, salty and just enough spice to make everyone want about half a dozen for supper. 😉

The pickled vegetables are quick and a lovely balance to to the gochujang bbq sauce in this recipe. What is gochujang? It’s a deep red chile paste that also contains rice, soybeans, and salt. It’s a thick, sticky condiment that has some spice, but it compliments flavours (like BBQ) without overpowering them. 

My kids don’t love dill pickles, but if I “quickle” any vegetable they’re addicted to it. The vinegar sensation must be off the charts for their little taste buds.

I served the pulled pork on brioche slider buns, however any bun or even wrap would do. Another garnishes would be kimchi, sliced avocado, or tomato slices. My husband and kids don’t love kimchi, but it’s so good for our guts that I’m slowly trying to incorporate into our diets.

Perfect for game day, weekdays, or any days if you ask me! I have another pulled pork recipe that I’m eager to try out. Hopefully it makes the cut and appears here soon. If Korean flavours or pulled pork sliders don’t strike your fancy here’s a Pork Carnitas recipe and a Chicken Tanga recipe – both slow cooker recipes!

    This recipe is great and the quick pickled veggies send the sliders off the charts. The secret is to slice the carrots and cukes super thin. I used Hawaiian rolls and I salivate every time I think about these things. Two thumbs up from a guy who's almost entirely carnivorous.

      Hawaiian rolls sound like a great switch up! We love the quickled veggies too; we sometimes turn it into a salad and the kiddos gobble it up. Thanks so much for the thumbs up!

These Banana Buckwheat Donuts are happening this week for school lunches. Kids dig them. I dig them. Done deal. I just need a hot 30 min to make them happen. 

A friend also turned the recipe into a loaf so there are options out there if you don’t have a donut 🍩 pan.

This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket loa This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket load of spinach into our diets before we leave the house for school and work. It's one of my long time smoothies that I make for my kids. 

We've had it a few days in a row now to help us hit reset in the new year. 

The omega oil is optional and I sometimes switch out the banana for a navel orange for a different flavour profile. Oh and if you're an Orange Julius fan, try a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract - you won't regret it!
