Gluten Free Asian Pulled Pork & Spicy Slaw

Asian Pulled Pork Tacos with Spicy Slaw Recipe

One of my go-to recipes for the weekend was this Asian Pulled Pork Tacos with Spicy Slaw Recipe. It’s easy, versatile, and I can do all sorts of relaxing while my slow cooker does all the work.

You can serve pulled pork a variety of ways: tossed with barbecue sauce and served on gluten free burger rolls, on top of a salad, fried up with potatoes and peppers into a hash and topped with a fried egg, or – perhaps my favorite – in tacos.

The pork can be flavored in a variety of ways as well. This recipe has an Asian accent. The pork is cooked in coconut palm sugar, ginger, garlic, and gluten free soy sauce. Served on a corn tortilla and topped with crunchy spicy slaw, the combo of rich, melt-in-your-mouth, slightly sweet pork with crisp, Sriracha spiced slaw is hard to beat.
