    Sesame Pulled Pork Sandwiches https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/sesame-pulled-pork-sandwiches/ Fri, 17 Jan 2025 20:18:34 +0000 https://www.tasteofhome.com/?post_type=recipe&p=2103322

    Ingredients

    • 3 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)
    • 1-3/4 cups reduced-fat sesame ginger salad dressing, divided
    • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    • SLAW:
    • 1 package (14 ounces) coleslaw mix
    • 4 green onions, chopped
    • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
    • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sesame ginger salad dressing
    • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

    • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
    • TO SERVE:
    • 12 multigrain hamburger buns, split
    • Wasabi mayonnaise, optional

    Directions

    1. Place tenderloins in a 5-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray; pour 3/4 cup salad dressing over pork, turning to coat. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 4-5 hours.
    2. Remove pork; cool slightly. Shred meat into bite-sized pieces; return to slow cooker. Stir in brown sugar and remaining salad dressing. Cook, covered, until heated through, 30-45 minutes longer.

    Ingredients

    • 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (2-1/2 pounds)
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 cup thinly sliced onion
    • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
    • 1 cup maple syrup, divided
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
    • 2 loaves (1 pound each ) frozen bread dough, thawed
    • 1 cup barbecue sauce
    • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
    • Chopped green onions and crushed red pepper flakes

    Directions

    1. Season pork with mustard, salt, cayenne pepper and ginger; place in a 4-qt. slow cooker. Top with onion and garlic; pour in 1/2 cup maple syrup, water and cider vinegar. Cook, covered, on low 5-7 hours or until meat is tender. Shred meat with 2 forks; discard cooking liquid and vegetables.
    2. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 loaf dough into a 16x10-in. rectangle. Combine barbecue sauce with remaining syrup; brush 1/4 cup sauce mixture to within 1/2 in. of dough edges. Top with half the pork. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut crosswise into 8 slices. Place in a 9-in. pie plate, cut sides down. Repeat with remaining dough and additional pie plate. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Reserve remaining sauce mixture. Preheat oven to 400°.
    3. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until melted, 5-10 minutes longer. Serve with reserved sauce mixture; sprinkle with green onions and red pepper flakes.

    Test Kitchen tips
  • If you have a favorite homemade or store-bought fresh dough, swap it for the frozen dough.
  • Want to make the pork faster? Use your electric pressure cooker instead of a slow cooker. Select Manual, high pressure and set time for 75 minutes. Allow to naturally release for 10 minutes then quick-release any remaining pressure.
  • Having trouble rolling your dough out? Leave it at room temp to relax for about 20 minutes and try again.
  • Spray a serrated knife with nonstick cooking spray to cut these easily.
