Start cooking

Directions

  1. Pat the pork dry, rub with salt and pepper, and place in the slow cooker.

  2. Mix three-quarters of the pork vinegar with the broth, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Pour around the meat and reserve the remaining pork vinegar.

  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, until the pork pulls apart easily with a fork.

  4. For the slaw, dissolve the sugar in the separate slaw vinegar. Toss with the coleslaw mix and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

  5. Transfer the pork to a board. Pull apart with two forks and discard large pieces of fat.

  6. Skim the cooking liquid and stir into the pork a little at a time, until moist. Add the reserved pork vinegar to taste.

  7. Fill the split buns with pork. Lift the slaw out of its dressing, pile on top, and serve.
