Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Place the pork butt in your slow cooker and combine chicken stock, gochujang, honey, and soy sauce. Pour over pork and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.
  2. Combine the julienned carrots, sliced cucumbers, and daikon radish in a bowl. In a saucepan, bring rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to boil. Pour over vegetables and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Warm flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds. In each tortilla, place a scoop of cooked rice, followed by the pulled pork, pickled veggies, fresh herbs, kimchi, and kimchi mayo.
  4. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it from the bottom up to enclose the fillings tightly. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
  5. Slice the burritos in half for presentation and serve with extra kimchi or your favorite dipping sauce.
