Ingredients
-
⅔ cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
-
1 large onion, thinly sliced
-
½ cup apple cider vinegar
-
½ cup chicken stock
-
¼ cup honey
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons fresh ginger
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
5 sprigs thyme, stemmed
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 (4 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed
-
¼ cup butter, divided
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
8 hamburger buns, split
-
3 green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
-
Combine gochujang, onion, vinegar, chicken stock, honey, brown sugar, ginger, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, cinnamon, salt, thyme, and black pepper together in a large bowl and mix well.
-
Dredge pork in the gochujang sauce on all sides. Pour sauce into a slow cooker and add the pork. Spoon some of the sauce on top of the pork. Cover and cook on Low until pork roast shreds easily with a fork, about 8 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Place roast in a large bowl and shred the meat with 2 forks. Pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a pot over medium-high heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover; reduce heat to a simmer.
-
Mix 1 tablespoon butter and flour in a small bowl; combine with the sauce in the pot and mix well. Cook until heated through and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir again.
-
Spread remaining 3 tablespoons butter over insides of buns. Place on a baking sheet.
-
Toast in the preheated oven until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Pour the sauce into the bowl with the shredded pork and mix. Top pork with green onions. Spoon pork over the toasted buns.
