Kalua pig is a must at luaus in Hawaii. Usually a whole pig is cooked in an underground pit (imu). It requires hours of preparation and many skilled hands to ready the ground and pig for cooking. It requires about 6-10 hours cooking before the kalua pig is ready. You can make this at home in the oven or crock pot and the results are amazing.

I think i might have messed up putting a bit too much liquid smoke,i didnt stress the "a little goes a long way" and "its concentrated". I got a bit excited making it because there is no hawaiian food here [Michigan] so im making everything's at home

Aloha from Georgia, I was just at home and went to Chef Zone (a divsion of Yata Foods) by the airport, I found Kiawe .liquid smoke in quart bottles, I bought 4 bottles and brought back to Georgia. BIG difference in taste!! My family really loves it. Great video!

My mouth is watering! This is very similar to how I make it. But, I cook it on low for 16 hours. When I take the meat out to shred it, I throw the cabbage into the juices in the crockpot, and let it wilt as Ii'm shredding. Then,, I add the meat back in it and mix. I haven't make it in a while. Now, I'm craving it. lol Yum!

This is a no brainer, salt it, put some smoke and cook. Easy. You can also do it in the oven, use ti leaves and foil to cover and bake several hours. If you don't have ti leaves, look for dried bamboo leaves in Chinatown. However, you have to soak and wash them and they're real skinny. I also use these for lau laus. Vegas sells them in Chinatown but they cost about 8-9 dollars a pound. Hawaii is about 3 something a pound.

We use course sea salt...Hawaiian salt hard to find in Eastern NC.😅 For smoke flavor, we just but the liquid smoke. Put in deep baking pan and cover loosely with foil and cook em. Can't afford to go home any more, I retired last year😂 BUT, we still go to Vegas and L & L Hawaiian BBQ in Virginia and Concord, NC to get "close enough" local foods. Subscribed. My next "project": pickled mango IF I can find red kine Li-Hing-mui...😢

Add minced garlic, as u lomi in liquid smoke, cover entire pork with swiss chard, seal with foil, as I usually use a roaster. Set roaster at 500 degrees for 1st 1/2 hrs, reduce to 325 degrees next 6hrs

@ronmanuela9448 Жыл бұрын

We are able to get ti leaves here in Utah , hawaiian salt that's all . No need liquid smoke no need waste time use liquid smoke. Enough with pork, salt and wrap the pork in the leaf not fully like Lau Lau but just around it that will give the natural flavor from the ti leaf as it cooks and salt . Ono just like that.

@tritontransport 8 ай бұрын

Same! Liquid smoke is too over powering and makes it taste less authentic. I just use smoked salt. I smoke alaea salt in a smoker using kiawe wood chips during the summer when I can smoke meats outside. Winter time here is too cold so then i have the smoked Hawaiian salt for winter time crock pot kalua pig with just the salt and Ti levees. I can’t find Ti leaves in the upper Midwest but i get them nailed to me from a friend in Hilo 😋. The leaves freeze ok and just thaw a few as needed

JUST ONE NOTE FROM HAWAII... AFTER THE CROCK POT REMOVE PORK FROM THE POT AND PLACE IN FLAT PAN PLACE IN THE OVEN AT 350 AND CHECK EVERY HALF HOUR. THE MEAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE MOIST BUT A BIT MORE DRY CONSISTANCY. ALMOST LIKE SHREDDED BEEF. BUT DONT GET ME WRONG THAT LOOKS GOOD.

Greetings Tutuwahine, I noticed that you didn't cut any of the fat from the pork. Is that how I should do it? Was the fat that collected in the bottom too much after it finished cooking and did you pour out some or most of it? I'm preparing the pork right now for the Superbowl and can't wait to try it! I plan to cook it in my pressure cooker BUT gonna use Dakine slow cooker! Is there anything that I missed? Pulled Pork sliders and cabbage! I know it's gonna be Soooooo ONO!!! It's been so long since I've had this! I left Hawaii so many years ago and totally forgot(I don't know how) this favorite!! Mahalo 🙂
