LET’S GO…
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 150ml of boiling water. Pat the pork fillet dry with paper towel. Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onions for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the pork fillet and the tomato paste and fry for 2-3 minutes until the tomato paste is fragrant. Pour in the diluted stock. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 8-10 until the pork is tender and cooked through. Remove the pot from the heat and remove the pork from the pot, reserving the stock in the pot. Using two forks (one to secure the pork and the other to shred), gently shred the pork in thin strips. Season and set aside.
CORN ON THE COB
Place a pan, that has a lid, over a high heat with a drizzle of oil and a splash of water to just cover the base. Once simmering, place the corn on the cob in the pan and pop on the lid. Cook for 6-7 minutes until most of the water has evaporated. Remove the lid, add a knob of butter (optional), and fry for a further 2 minutes until cooked through and golden, turning as it colours. Season to taste.
SPICY MAYO & PULLED PORK
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, the gochujang (to taste), and seasoning. Set aside. To the pot with the stock, add the pulled pork and the KFC sauce. Stir until fully combined. Place the pot over a medium-low heat and leave to gently simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened. Season to taste.
ROASTY TOASTY
Return the pan to a medium heat. When hot, dry toast the tacos for 15 seconds per side until warmed through and lightly crisped. Once heated, stack under a dry tea towel to stop them from getting cold or drying out.
TACO NIGHT
Lay down the warmed tortillas. Top with the shredded green leaves, the saucy pulled pork, and the cucumber matchsticks. Dollop over the spicy mayo. Scatter over the chopped coriander and side with the corn on the cob. Look at you, Chef!
