Kalua Pork / Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Kalua Pork for pulled pork sandwiches is a slow-cooked Hawaiian-style roast made by seasoning a pork shoulder with salt and liquid smoke, wrapped in ti leaves or cooked directly in a crock pot. The pork cooks low and slow until very tender, shredding easily and capturing smoky, salty flavors. It's served in hamburger buns with coleslaw and barbecue sauce.
