Return pork to pan with any juices on the plate; cover and place in oven for 2 to 2½ hours. Slow Cooker option: put all the ingredients into a slow cooker and allow to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
When meat has cooled, use 2 forks to break the meat into shreds. Place back into kettle with liquid to keep moist.
BBQ Sauce – In a saucepan place vegetable oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onions, cook until onions are translucent. Add the ginger, serrano peppers, paprika, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Let the mixture cool and then add into a blender. Blend until all ingredients are smooth in texture. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cabbage Slaw – in a large bowl combine, cabbages, onion, cilantro, lime juice, oil, salt and black pepper; stir to combine.
Add BBQ sauce to shredded pork, reserving some for serving; heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Place pork on the toasted roll and top with cabbage slaw. Enjoy!
