Looking for some help to dial in out coleslaw recipe. I pulled some pork and made sandwiches and DW made coleslaw, but it just didn’t hit the mark. Not bad, but I felt like it needed something. Not sure if it needed more tang, like more vinegar, or maybe some different spices for some heat/zip? Is there a classic slaw recipe for pulled pork sandwiches? My thought is that it needs to be creamy and a bit strong so that you can tell it’s there. The slaw DW made was kinda just there. It didn’t really add anything to the sandwich.
Also, besides ingredients, how do you cut the cabbage? She ran it through a food processor blade (a shredding blade) and I thought it was just too finely chopped. Thinking it needs to be rough cut by hand to get it some substance.
Note, I’m not criticizing DW. It was good slaw. We finished it in a dish with a fork. It just wasn’t what the sandwich needed.
FWIW, I tend to use a sweet and spicy bbq sauce on my pulled pork. Maybe that needs adjusted too. Looking for a sandwich that’s better than average which is what I think we accomplished (average) with our last attempt.
Thanks.
