Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp gochujang, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: While pork marinates, mix 2 cups shredded green cabbage and 1 grated medium carrot in a bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth. Toss dressing with cabbage and carrot until coated; refrigerate.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated pork for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and caramelized.
Step 4: Warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Assemble tacos by dividing pork among tortillas, topping with spicy slaw, and sprinkling 1 tsp sesame seeds and 2 tbsp sliced green onions over each.
