Asian-fusion pulled pork street tacos

These are fantastic!

Ingredients:

*won ton wrappers
*country style boneless pork ribs
* 1 can pineapple tidbits
*1 package coleslaw mix
*lighthouse poppyseed dressing
*dollop of mayo
*a dash of apple cider vinegar
*1/2 a bottle of Mr. yoshidas Hawaiian Sweet & Sour Marinade and Cooking sauce.


I can't remember how many pounds of pork ribs that I bought at the time, but I spent around 10$

Start by boiling your pork ribs over high temperature.

While the ribs are boiling, drain the can of pineapple and save your juice! You're gonna need that shit! 

In a large bowl dump out that coleslaw mix you got from the produce section. In a separate mixing bowl pour in about 1/3-1/2 cup of the poppyseed dressing. Get a big spoon and plop a good sized dollop of mayonnaise in that dressing and whisk together. You want it to be about the consistency of a sauce. Not too runny but not thick like the mayonnaise. Add more mayo as needed to achieve this consistency. Once you have it how you like it, add 1-2 capfuls of apple cider vinegar. I add 1 cap at a time and do a taste test. You can adjust the amount based on your preference of the flavor. 

Now you have your Coleslaw's dressing! DONT MIX IN YOUR CABBAGE YET! That comes in a bit here. 

Check your boiling ribs. Once those ribs start to fall apart when you pick them up with tongs, use a coffee mug to remove 2-3 cups of water. 

Replace the water with the pineapple juice you saved. (Told you) 

Continue boiling for another 15 mins. 

Once you have added the pineapple juice to your ribs, you should at this time put the coleslaw dressing onto your coleslaw mix. The acid in the dressing needs a little bit of time to saturate the coleslaw for maximum flavor. 

Drain your pork ribs and transfer to casserole dish. Once in the casserole dish, you can easily "pull" your pork using two forks and scraping them simultaneously in opposing directions. 

Coat your pork immediately using the half bottle of Mr. Yoshidas. 

At this point you can put your pulled pork in the oven at 350. 

 Bring your favorite frying oil up to a medium-high temp. (I use straight up Crisco because it's delicious) 

Fry your won tons golden brown and drain on cooling racks over paper towels. 

These fried won tons will be your "tortilla" for this awesome taco you're about to enjoy. 

On the wonton place a spoon full of pulled pork. On top of that a pinch of coleslaw. Top your slaw with a pineapple tidbit or two and drizzle with sirracha if desired. 

Sirracha and sour cream

I prefer to use Mexican style sour cream but mixing these two delightful sauces makes a wonderful dip for everything and anything. I use a 3 sour cream to 1 sirracha portioning for mine.

Whats with all the Mini-shit?

Okay the mini cooper is pretty cute, ill admit it. It looks like a bug on wheels.
But seriously, then comes mini burgers, mini chicken burgers, mini tacos
Mini burritos, Cheetos, Taquitos, Doritos....
Mini blizzards, mini cups at the grocery store, mini drumsticks
Mini fruit bars...who could forget Halloween's favorite mini candy bars?
Mini blueberry muffins, mini brownies, mini cookies even.
Mini pancakes and waffles
Mini corn dogs
If you think about it, a goldfish cracker is really just one of those
nasty cheap cheese crackers on a mini size scale!
And although its not called mini, how about things like french toast sticks? Or apple fries?
Isnt that simply smaller portions of what we have full size versions of?
I mean put 4 french toast sticks together....do you ever eat just 1 slice of french toast?

We have become such an on-the-go world.

"uh i dont have time to eat a whole burrito before work, but i have time for a mini burrito!"

Females are in Danger!


5 pointless things we do.

5. Asking someone we see on a regular basis "did you get a hair cut?"
4. Saying "what" after someone says something we actually heard.
3. Asking if someone is okay when they are crying
2. Asking who your with "what are you going to get" when ordering food at a restaurant
1. Hitting the Home button on Facebook even though your already on the home page
If you dont know who Jack Benny is, you can go screw yourself.


People in Grocery stores

Is it the mere fact that you are so caught up in your shopping that you forget that others exist around you? Or are you important enough in the world that I should NOT be entirely annoyed that I cant push my cart down the isle because your cart is in the middle of the lane and your bent over taking up the remaining space?

I mean, we are the only 2 people in the isle, and quite frankly I dont know if it would be possible you didn't hear or see me walk up with my cart and stop 2 feet away from you waiting to get by.

Maybe your deaf and have no peripheral vision.

(a good 2 minutes later)

"oh im sorry, lemme get out of your way"

Well at least I know your not deaf. Lets hope your peripherals are just going bad....


10 things you should NEVER say or do when ordering in drive thru.

10. Do not tell me that your order is "to-go" we do not serve drive thru customers for here.

9. After the voice comes out of the box and says "welcome to MacDonald's, order when your ready" don't sit there for 5 minutes and finally say "hello?" The sentence "order when your ready" implies that it is now YOUR turn to start talking.

8. Remember, everything you say from the moment you approach the order speaker is heard until you drive away. EVERYTHING.

7. Assuming you have read #8 please note. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM INTO THE BOX. I can hear you just fine, from the time you pull up yelling at your husband or kids, to the moment you drive off calling me "stupid" for not somehow knowing you wanted pepsi to drink with your meal.

6. I only have 2 hands, if I am trying to give you your change back, and your drinks, please do not look up at me when I hand you only one drink and say "um I ordered 2 drinks" Especially if I hand you 2 straws with that first drink. I is smart.

5. Please do not pull up to the window and leave 5 feet of space between your car and the window. I am not inspector gadget and I do not have go-go gadget arms.

4. If you get to the window and realize you have forgotten your wallet, do not tell me this and then sit there and stare at me as though i am supposed to call the magic wallet fairies and have them retrieve it for you.

3.So your coming to a place to BUY something, you place an order at the menu/speaker to BUY and then you have sometimes a 3 minute wait before the opportunity to PAY for what you wanted to BUY. Why the hell don't you have your wallet, at least out of the back pocket of your pants? Are you only allowed to unbuckle, hoist and retrieve at the window?

2. If you are one of those kids filming those drive thru pranks, or have ever watched one of those and laughed your ass off, I really hope that someone shits on your face.

1. If you are car #5 in a long line of cars in a drive thru, and all 5 cars ahead of you are helped quickly and drive off quickly, please do not come to the window, receive your order and then sit at the window for 3 and a half minutes checking your food or distributing it out to the other people in the car. You are NOT the only person who matters in this world (I know, hurts to find out doesn't it?)
