  • 6tablespoons water
  • 6tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
