8 cloves Garlic
1 1" piece of fresh ginger (grated)
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1⁄4 cup White Vinegar (or sub rice vinegar)

  ----FOR TOPPING----
  fried eggs
  fresh cilantro
  raw, thinly sliced jalapeno

Notes

Note: For kids, simply omit the jalapeƱos and chili sauce to make it less spicy!

Instructions

  1. In bowl combine soy sauce, water, garlic cloves, ginger, brown sugar, and fish sauce and stir to combine.
  2. Put brisket or pork tenderloin and soy sauce mixture in a slow cooker and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10 hours (would be a good option for overnight). You could also do this in an Instant Pot (cooking times and directions would vary).
  3. Once the meat is done, combine vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl and then add carrots and cucumbers and toss to coat.
  4. Let the veggies sit in the vinegar mixture for 15 minutes before serving.
  5. Fry eggs over easy, 1 per taco.
  6. Shred meat.
  7. Char tortillas by placing them over an open gas flame on the stove or placing in a skillet and toasting on each side until just charred, careful not to burn them.
  8. To assemble tacos, layer meat, pickled veggies, jalapeƱo, cilantro, green onions and chili sauce and then top off with a fried egg.
  9. Serve immediately.
