Peking duck with rich hoisin sauce and thinly sliced iced scallions is one of our favorite combinations. We’ve adapted the classic pairing for this pork taco recipe. Instead of duck we slow cook boneless country pork ribs with hoisin until juicy and shreddable. We tuck the pork into warm flour tortillas with a tangy cucumber slaw, fresh cilantro, and thin slices of scallions. Each bite is a perfect balance of texture, flavor, and temperature: crunchy cold cucumber, soft tortilla, warm spicy pork, and ample amounts of fresh greens.
