Korean Short Rib Tacos with Apple Kimchi Slaw

Korean Short Rib Tacos with Apple Kimchi Slaw are a match made in heaven with so much umaminess! Check out my Korean Short Rib recipe for creating a yummy short rib ragu, but instead of adding the shredded meat back into the stock for the ragu, just introduce enough stock to provide the shredded short rib with some moisture. Then spread the shredded short rib (or use pork butt) on a sheet tray and place the meat under the boiler to get some crisp.

This here is what your delicious Korean taco meat should look like. Note: this is pork butt featured.

This post is focused on the delicious accompaniment to the taco, the Apple Kimchi Slaw. The slaw certainly delivers deliciousness, brightness, freshness, heat and crunch for your taco ❤️
