These bite-sized slider sandwiches are perfect for snacking. Despite their small size, these sliders pack a punch with rich flavor. These Asian-inspired sandwiches feature tender pork tenderloin and coleslaw. Before baking, the pork tenderloin marinates for several hours in a sweet and sour marinade. This infuses the tenderloin with flavor and makes it extra juicy, and the remaining marinade makes a rich Asian sauce. Place the pork medallions, sauce, and coleslaw on mini Hawaiian buns and enjoy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

cole slaw:

Combine red and white cabbage, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and green onions in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the pork.
Pork:

In a medium bowl, combine orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, ginger, and orange zest. Add the pork and turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally.

Preheat oven to 220°C.
Remove the pork from the marinade. Don't discard the marinade. Place the tenderloin on a heavy nonstick baking sheet and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145°F (63°C), 25-30 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Pour the marinade into a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir in the arrowroot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the pork to a work surface and slice crosswise into 0.5-0.8 cm thick slices. Arrange the pork slices on the bottom halves of the buns. Top with sauce and coleslaw. Top with the top halves of the buns and serve.
