Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Pork: Place the pork butt in your slow cooker. Mix together chicken stock, gochujang, honey, and soy sauce; pour over the pork. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours until tender.
  2. Make Pickled Veggies: Combine julienned carrots, sliced cucumbers, and daikon radish. In a saucepan, boil rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over vegetables and let pickle for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Assemble Burritos: Shred the pork and return it to the slow cooker. Warm tortillas in a skillet. In each tortilla, place rice, shredded pork, pickled veggies, fresh herbs, kimchi, and kimchi mayo.
  4. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Repeat for remaining burritos. Serve warm for a delightful experience.
