Hi Everyone!
Today, Uncle Owen teaches me how he makes a very tasty shoyu pork! This is a dish that he's enjoyed since "small kid time" when my grandma would make it for him. Through their teaching, Uncle Owen is now passing on this dish to the next generation! Join me in learning how to make Shoyu Pork!
4 lbs pork belly, pork butt or pork shoulder
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 cup shoyu
1 cup sake
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2-inch knob of ginger, grated
1 cup light brown sugar
Heat a large pot to medium-high. Add oil.
In batches, brown pork cubes.
When all the pork is browned, combine with shoyu, sugar, sake, garlic and ginger.
Bring to a boil and simmer 2-3 hours until the pork is tender.
Option: remove pork and simmer to reduce sauce until desired thickness is reached.

Looks ono! I remember going to Papaaloa Store and my mom would buy fabrics to make dresses for me when I was in elementary school. Also there used to be a box of assorted loose buttons that you could buy one if you need to replace a button. I just used to love running my hands through the buttons in the box. :) MIss the old days Papaaloa Store which was run by the Shimabukuro's. They made good potato mac salad and bbq meat. But I'm glad someone is running the store and offering all kinds of services like plate lunches, etc.

Thank you. My grandma used to make shoyu pork, but I’ve never made it. It’s a total comfort food and a “small kid time” memory. Will have to try making it

@@Caritaira From Laupahoehoe also, your uncle Owen was a year older than me. Your mom was a classmate of my oldest brother and your uncle Warren was a classmate of my other brother. Your uncle Ben used to come over to my parents house (the lone house at Papaaloa at the intersection by the highway).
