PULLED PORK AND KIMCHI SANDWICH

Steps:

• Soak the wood chips in water for 30 minutes, then transfer to the smoker.
• Smoke the pork for 2 hours according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Combine the brown sugar, chili sauce, molasses, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until combined.

• Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides. Pour half the molasses mixture over the pork. Cover and cook in the oven until the meat is so tender it falls off the bone, about 6 hours. Let rest for 30 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the skillet and use a fork to pull and shred the meat (it will come off in threads). Set aside.
