Note

For extra flavour, marinate the pork in the sauce mixture for 2-4 hours before cooking.

If the sauce seems too thin after cooking, remove the meat and use the Sear/Sauté function to reduce the liquid for 2-3 minutes.

For larger portions, the recipe can be doubled but may require additional cooking time.

Sweet Tangy Sauce Drips

The sauce symphony creates an irresistible drip factor that's central to this sandwich's appeal.

You'll notice that the sweet and tangy BBQ sauce doesn't just sit there - it mingles with the meat's natural juices, creating rivulets of flavour that'll have you reaching for extra napkins. Don't fight it; that's exactly what you want in a proper pulled pork sandwich.

When you're assembling your sandwich, you'll want to let the sauce work its magic in layers.

Start by tossing the pulled pork with the warm sauce, then let it rest for a minute so the meat can absorb some of that liquid gold. As you pile the pork onto your toasted bun, add another small drizzle of sauce on top.

You'll find that the bottom bun gets pleasantly soaked while the top stays just firm enough to hold everything together. Keep some extra sauce on the side - you'll probably want to add more as you eat.

And here's a pro tip: serve these sandwiches with coleslaw on top to catch some of those tasty drips and add a fresh crunch.

Conclusion

You've discovered a delicious shortcut to BBQ perfection that doesn't sacrifice flavour for speed. Your Ninja Speedi transforms hours of traditional smoking into just 35 minutes of magic, delivering tender, saucy pulled pork that will make your weeknight dinners feel like a weekend feast. Top it with fresh coleslaw, and you're ready to dig into a sandwich that honours BBQ's ancient roots while fitting perfectly into your modern lifestyle.
