Pork slathered in a spicy and sweet bbq sauce, cooked slow and low for 8 hours. The result is fall off the bone pork that you could literally shred between two fingers. Is your mouth watering yet?
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup gochujang
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 5 pound bone-in pork shoulder (pork butt), trimmed of excess fat
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • Quick Cucumber Kimchi
  • 6 - 8 hamberger buns
  • Gochujang BBQ Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup gochujang
  • ⅔ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ⅔ cup rice vinegar
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • 1⅓ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, hoisin, and brown sugar. Place the pork into the slow cooker and rub the gochujang paste all over. Pour the chicken stock into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours.
  2. To make the Gochujang BBQ Sauce - in a large sauce pan over medium heat, heat the oil and sauté the garlic just until fragrant, approximately 30 seconds.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients. Turn the heat down to low and stir occasionally for 20 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Do not let the sauce boil.
  4. When the pork is done cooking, remove from the slow cooker and place in a large bowl. Take two forks and shred. Pour half of the BBQ sauce over top and toss to combine.
  5. Pile the pulled pork on top of the bottom bun, top with the Cucumber Kimchi, and place the top bun on top. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy!
