This is one of my favorite Hawaiian dishes because it is so juicy and flavorful. We make it all the time to serve with our different Hawaiian dishes. You can use it in tacos, or pulled pork sandwiches, but one of my favorite ways to eat it is in a Hawaiian plate lunch with rice and macaroni salad.
How to Make Kalua Pork
Pork roast – You can also use pork shoulder or pork butt roast, but remove the fat before serving. Kosher salt or Hawaiian Salt Liquid smoke – mesquite or hickory both work fine. Water Cabbage (optional)
In the Crock Pot
This is my favorite method if you have the time. This pork recipe tastes so much like the actual, authentic Hawaiian Kalua pork without having to throw a whole pig in a pit. You literally throw it in the slow cooker and let it do its thing all day. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the true “imu” method, but I can’t pass up the ease of the slow cooker when I am just making Hawaiian pulled pork for my family. If you want to smoke it in an underground pit to get the “true” experience I won’t stop you! But with this recipe, you’ll get the same fork tender pork and great taste with a fraction of the effort.
