Hoisin Pulled Pork Tacos

Cooking Time: 35-45 min

Ingredients: 2 persons

🍚 Potatoes 450g

🍚 Slow Cooked Pork 425g

🍚 Garlic clove 3

🍚 Baby Cucumber 1

🍚 Rice Vinegar 20ml

🍚 Mayonnaise 60g

🍚 Coleslaw Mix 120g

🍚 Plain Taco Tortillas 4

🍚 Hoisin Sauce 60g

🍚 Sugar 1/2 tsp

🍚 Salt 1/4 tsp

🍚 Honey 1 tbsp

Preheat your oven to 220°c / 200°c fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray.

Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. 

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30mins. Turn halfway through.

While the chips cook, remove the slow cooked pork from the packaging. Place in an ovenproof dish along with the juices and cover loosely with foil.

Roast on the middle shelf of your oven for 25-30 mins, or air fryer for 20-25 mins.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the pork is piping hot throughout.

Pop the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of oil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it.

Roast the garlic parcel on a baking tray or in your air fryer until soft, 10-12 mins.

Meanwhile, trim and halve the cucumber lengthways, then slice it lengthways into thin strips.

Stack a handful of the slices at a time and slice them thinly again into matchsticks.

In a small bowl, combine the cucumber, rice vinegar, sugar and salt ( see pantry for both amounts). Toss to combine and set aside.

Once the garlic has cooled slightly, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork.

In a medium bowl, combine half the mayo with the coleslaw mix and mashed garlic. Set aside.

Once the pork is cooked, remove from the oven or air fryer, then discard the foil and any cooking juices.

Use two forks to shred as finely as you can.

Pop the tortillas (2 per person) into the oven to warm through, 1-2 mins.

Stir the hoisin sauce and honey (see pantry for amount) through the pulled pork. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

To make your tacos, share the tortillas between your plates and spread each one with the remaining mayo.

Top with the hoisin pulled pork and pickled cucumber.

Pour the pickling liquid from the cucumber into the coleslaw and toss to combine, then serve alongside your tacos with the chips.
