Instructions

Preparing the pork sliders:

6. Remove the pork from the skewers and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the pork using two forks.
7. Place the shredded pork on mini slider buns and top with coleslaw.

Making the coleslaw:

1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss well to coat all the vegetables with the dressing.
