Prepare the Thai BBQ Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced pork shoulder with Thai BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate (Note: Marinating the pork for at least 1 hour allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, enhancing its taste and tenderness).
Make the Slaw: In a large bowl, toss together shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, chopped cilantro, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Cook the Pork: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated pork slices for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through and caramelized (Note: Grilling the pork until it's caramelized adds a delicious smoky flavor and a crispy texture to the meat).
Assemble the Sliders: Place a grilled pork slice on each toasted slider bun bottom to assemble. Top with a generous spoonful of slaw and cover with the bun tops.
Serve Thai BBQ Pork Sliders warm and freshly assembled on a platter for an inviting presentation. Place the grilled pork slices on toasted slider buns and top generously with crunchy slaw. Garnish with fresh cilantro or Thai basil for an added touch of flavor. Accompany with suggested side dishes and extra Thai BBQ sauce for dipping. These sliders are perfect for casual gatherings or a flavorful weeknight meal.
