Combine the cabbage, carrots and spring onions in a large bowl. 3 In another bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, both oils, vinegar, garlic, sugar and ginger. Pour the dressing over the veg and toss to coat. Cover the bowl, and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that the carrot and cabbage will soften and mix with the dressing. 4 Once the pork is cooked to the point where it’s falling apart, shred it in the pot (removing any large fat pieces) using two forks, then stir to absorb all the juice. 5 Serve the pulled pork in brioche buns, garnished with griddled pieces of fresh pineapple and fresh coriander leaves, and with a side of slaw, scattered with sesame seeds.
