1 ½ pound pork shoulder cut 2 in x 2 in
1 small onion minced
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
¾ cup barbecue sauce I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet n’ Spicy – so use whatever you have
2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 teaspoons water
12 Hawaiian rolls
½ cup red cabbage
½ cup bean sprout

In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, brown sugar and your favorite barbecue sauce.
Place pork in a pot and pour the barbecue sauce mixture.
Bring to a boil and simmer pork until tender. Usually about 2 hours or so when cooking on the stove.
Remove pork when done. Set aside. Don’t turn off heat on pan.
Slowly pour cornstarch mixture in the pot stirring constantly.
Once sauce is thick turn off heat and transfer sauce in a small bowl.
Shred or pull pork using 2 forks.
Toast the Hawaiian rolls if you like to.
Put about 3 to 4 tablespoons of pulled pork on the rolls.
Garnish with your favorite vegetables.
Add the sauce with the pulled pork or serve the sauce on the side.
Serve these sliders with other side dishes like the refreshing Watermelon, Feta and Tomato Salad.
Enjoy!
