In a large, flameproof casserole or a skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the chopped garlic and onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the pork roast and brown about 3 minutes on each side. Add the low-sodium soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, water, hot-pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan and stir until the mixture is smooth. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the pork for 1 hour. Taste for seasoning. At this point, the pork should be tender, but not falling apart.

Remove the pork from the sauce and let it sit. Heat the sauce in a pan over moderate heat until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes. Let the sauce cool slightly and then puree it in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add it back to the casserole.

Cut the pork in half lengthwise, then either thinly slice the meat or shred it with your fingers. Add it back to the sauce and stir well. To serve sandwiches, heat the buns, bread, or tortillas and ladle the hot meat and the sauce on top.
