It really is that simple! This will make 4 sandwiches, but you can easily adjust it to make more. These servings are just suggestions, so you can use as much of any ingredient depending on how you like your pulled pork sandwiches.

I use my favorite slow cooker pulled pork recipe to make these sandwiches. It’s a teriyaki pork recipe, which is both tangy and sweet, but you can season the pork differently depending on what you prefer. See the recipe for more ideas on pulled pork seasoning!

For the teriyaki sauce, my pulled pork recipe gives instructions on how to make your own for pulled pork sauce. However, you can also follow our guide on How to Make Teriyaki Sauce if you would like extra servings to use with other recipes, like our Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken.

For coleslaw, I use the dry coleslaw mix, but you can make your own homemade coleslaw or use a prepared coleslaw if you like, and it will complement the pork nicely.

How to Make Coleslaw for Pulled Pork

For a package of coleslaw, use 1/2 a cup of either mayonnaise, buttermilk or sour cream.
Add either 1 Tbsp. honey or 1 Tbsp. sugar, whichever you prefer or have on hand, for sweetness.
Mix in 1/4 cup vinegar – I recommend apple cider vinegar, but you can also use white wine vinegar.
Just a pinch of salt – no more than 1/2 a tsp. – and that’s optional!

Making your own coleslaw is very simple. You can make coleslaw with vinegar and either mayonnaise, buttermilk, or sour cream dressing.

The measurements are the same no matter which base ingredient you use, but taste and adjust accordingly to make sure you like the flavor before you put it on your pulled pork sandwiches.

Whichever you have on hand that you like the most is what works best for your pulled pork sandwich recipe!

How to Make Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Set the bottom halves of 4 brioche buns (or buns of your choice) on a clean surface.
Spoon on 1 cup worth of pulled pork divided between the sandwiches (or more or less to taste), about 4 Tbsp. each sandwich. You can also use tongs.
Top each sandwich with coleslaw to taste (about 2 Tbsp. or a little less is usually enough).
Sprinkle over an additional Tbsp. or so of Teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
Add the top bun. Enjoy!
