Ingredients

For the lamb: 

  • 1/2 cup Gochujang
  • 6 tsp White miso paste
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 to 4 lbs American Lamb Shoulder, cut into one-inch cubes
  • For the coleslaw: 
  • 1 16oz bag of store-bought coleslaw
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise 
  • 1 cup of kimchi, chopped
  • 8 to 10 soft flour tortillas, toasted 

For garnish:

  • Sliced avocado
  • Sriracha
  • Sesame seeds
  • Scallions

Directions

In a large mixing bowl combine the first five ingredients. Add the American lamb shoulder to a bowl and gently turn the lamb making sure the sauce has coated it entirely. 

Spray the insert of a 5-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and place the lamb shoulder into the bottom. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. 

Once cooked, remove the lamb shoulder from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board to rest for at least 3 minutes before slicing and shredding. 

While the lamb rests, make the coleslaw. In a large mixing bowl combine the bag of coleslaw, mayo and kimchi. Set aside. 

To serve: take a toasted tortilla and top with shredded lamb followed by coleslaw and desired toppings. Serve and enjoy!
