Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the 2 cups pulled pork with the vinegar mixture, stirring occasionally, until the pork is hot and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, toss the 2 cups coleslaw mix with 2 tbsp of the hot pork liquid (or a splash of vinegar) to lightly wilt it.
Step 4
Pile the hot pork onto the 4 hamburger buns, top with the coleslaw, and serve immediately.
Step 5
Optional: add a drizzle of extra vinegar sauce or a sprinkle of black pepper for more tang.
