Serves 6

Ingredients

Pork Stock
15 cups water
1¼ cups Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Tamari Soy Sauce
1¼ cups diced red delicious apple (skin on)
1 cup garlic cloves, roughly chopped (about 3 heads)
1 cup diced, peeled ginger
2½ pounds boneless pork shoulder
1 large yellow onion, roughly diced

Garlic Ginger Puree
½ cup minced garlic
½ cup minced ginger

RPG Pork Sauce
¾ cup Kikkoman® Sweet Chili Sauce
6 tablespoons Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Orange Sauce
2 tablespoons Sambal Oelek
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

Garlic Hoisin Mayo
1 cup mayo
1 tablespoon hoisin
1 tablespoon Garlic Ginger Puree

Sandwich
6 sweet French rolls, halved horizontally
Snipped fresh chives
Dill sprigs
Thinly sliced cucumber
Pickle slices
6 ounces pulled pork from pork stock recipe

Directions

  1. To prepare stock, place water, soy sauce, apple, garlic, ginger, pork and onion in a large heavy-bottomed stockpot (at least 6 quarts) and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half, about 2½ to 3 hours. You should have 9 cups of stock and pork should be fork tender. Remove pork and separate into 6-oz. sliced or large shredded portions.  
  2. Remove solids from broth with a strainer and discard. Transfer broth to a clean pot and keep warm.   
  3. To prepare garlic ginger puree, process all ingredients in blender until smooth.   
  4. To prepare pork sauce, stir together all ingredients in a medium bowl. Warm and char lightly with a butane torch.  
  5. To prepare garlic hoisin mayo, stir together all ingredients in a medium bowl.   
  6. To assemble sandwiches, place 2 tablespoons of pork sauce onto each roll bottom. Top with chives, dill, cucumber and pickles, then top with 6 oz. of warmed pork. Spoon 2 tablespoons garlic hoisin mayo on roll tops and close sandwiches.
