ASIAN FISH TACOS WITH SESAME-GINGER SLAW

Steps:

• Mix cabbage, red bell pepper, green onions, sesame seeds, jalapeno pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a bowl for the slaw.
• Pour honey, lime juice, sesame oil, mustard, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and wasabi powder into a jar. Shake until honey is dissolved. Pour over the slaw.
• Heat an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat bottom of the pan with coconut oil and olive oil.

• Drain the slaw slightly. Place 1/4 of the cod on a tortilla and squeeze some lime juice on top. Add 1/4 of the slaw; top with roasted cashews. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, lime, slaw, and cashews.

ASIAN INSPIRED PULLED PORK SHOULDER (FOR TACOS OR SLIDERS)

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan add the following items: hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, ½ cup of water, sesame oil, mirin, shaoxing rice wine, lemongrass fresh, ginger, garlic, and the Chinese five spice powder.
• Whisk together. Reserve 1/4 cup for basting and set the pan with the rest of the sauce on the stove over low hit to thicken. About 30 min, whisking occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
• Place onion chunks in bottom of crock pot and set as low. Salt and pepper the pork on both sides and place on top of the onions.
• Baste top and sides of pork with the reserved sauce. Add the lid and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-5 hours on high. You will know it's done when it is falling apart. YUM!
• Add the cooled Korean inspired BBQ sauce reduction to a magic bullet or blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. Will keep in fridge for 2 weeks.

Serve either one topped with shredded green and purple cabbage, thinly slices quick-pickled radishes and cucumbers, green onion, cilantro and basil. Dress with a drizzle of spicy sriracha aioli and a drizzle of the Korean inspired BBQ sauce reduction.
