I found this at diets in review. Poster had just spent a weekend getaway in Portland, Oregon and was inspired to create this after going to Portland Farmers's Market and taking a pole dancing class. Got a bang out of that! She claims that it has a lower calorie level. Could prep meat day before and assemble rest day of serving.

How To Make banh mi sliders
-
1Put bay leaves into crockpot. Combine rest of spices and thoroughly rub on pork tenderloin. Place in crock pot with chopped apples and a few pieces of ginger root (later need 1 to 2 teaspoons of ginger for vegetable topping) and pour in broth. Set to high and cook 3-4 hours.
-
2Prepare the vegetable topping by chopping carrot and cucumber julienne style (like long, thin matchsticks). Zest or grate the remaining ginger root; you’ll want about 1-2 teaspoons. Roughly chop cilantro and mince serrano pepper (remove the seeds before chopping to remove heat but keep the flavor). This can be done a few hours in advance and sealed in an air-tight container or baggy and refrigerated.
-
3Just before serving, prepare the apple cider reduction. Over high heat pour cider into pot on stove top. Stir frequently. When cider has mostly reduced, after 8-10 minutes, reduce heat slightly and add honey. Stir until a thick syrup has formed (keep warm until ready to use).
-
4Remove pork from the crock pot. It should be tender and juicy. Shred the meat by hand or using two forks.
-
5Spread each slider bun with apple cider reduction. Evenly divide meat and vegetables across buns.
