Instructions

Put the pork into your slow cooker. Mix the chicken stock, gochujang, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl and then pour it over the pork. Cook the pork for 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low heat. When it's done, shred it using 2 forks. BONUS: transfer the liquid from the slow cooker into a pot and boil it hard until it thickens. You can drizzle this in your sandwich for extra flavor!
