In a slow cooker or large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat, then sear the pork shoulder on all sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Place the seared pork shoulder into a slow cooker or keep it in the pot. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic if using, then pour 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce over the pork along with 1/2 cup of water. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or until the pork is fork-tender).
Once the pork is done, remove it from the slow cooker/pot and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat.
Mix the shredded pork with the remaining 1 cup of BBQ sauce until evenly coated. Keep warm.
In a large bowl, prepare the coleslaw by combining the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the cabbage and carrots are evenly coated and set aside.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly for extra texture, if desired.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous mound of shredded BBQ pork on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a scoop of coleslaw and place the other half of the bun on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of smoky, tangy, and crunchy flavors!
