Pulled Pork Sandwich with Pickled Carrots

Servings 4 people
Calories 347kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in, center cut pork shoulder
  • 4 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 medium carrots
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3-4 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
  • 8 slices whole-wheat bread toasted

Instructions

  • Place pork shoulder in a slow cooker along with 4 tablespoons soy sauce. Add cold water to cover (about 6 cups) and set on high heat. Cover and cook 4 hours or until tender.
  • Peel and julienne carrots. Submerge in 6 tablespoons water, cider vinegar, olive oil, and remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Marinate at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
  • Once tender, remove pork shoulder from cooking liquid; cool. Ladle cooking liquid into a separate container and set aside. When pork is cool enough to handle, shred meat from bone using a fork. Divide shredded pork into two equal portions, reserving one for future use.
  • Mix Sriracha with one portion of the pork to taste. Top four of the bread slices with pork; drizzle with about 1 tablespoon cooking liquid (reserve remaining liquid for another use; such as soup stock). Top with pickled carrots and remaining bread slices.
