BBQ Sauce Instructions
Add all ingredients for bbq sauce into a small/medium pot and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low/medium and let cook until thick, stirring occasionally. Should take 20-30 minutes.

Strain, rinse and shred canned jackfruit.
Add jackfruit to a non-stick pan and sauté on medium heat until the moisture is cooked out. Should take about 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat or keep on low if the bbq sauce is cold. Stir in about 1 cup of the BBQ sauce or as much or as little as you want.
Sandwich Assembly
Lightly toast the buns.
Add bbq jackfruit to the bottom of each bun. Top with shredded cabbage slaw.
Add extra bbq sauce to the top bun and that's it!
Enjoy!
