Kalua Pork Recipe - Hawaiian Mix Plate Tribute

Kalua pork is a Hawaiian classic. Traditionally, a whole pig is cooked low and slow in an underground pit oven called an imu. Today, I will show you how to simulate the incredible taste and texture of this beautiful meat at home in your crock pot. To go with our Kalua pork, I will be making some mac salad and some collard greens as I make a tribute to the Hawaiian mix plate!

If I dont have a Slow Cooker what can I do??

[MrJingjong]

@debbiedeepr85 the Sammy Choy method: preheat an oven to 350F. You can wrap the meat in the leaves, then with twine and wrap in foil. Put in a shallow roasting pan with a couple cups of water and roast for about 4 hours. Though this method is shorter, the slow cooker method renders it's own juices and comes out more flavourful.

can you make garlic chicken, like fatboys makes?! and I wish I could find banana leafs in kansas. I gotta ask my grandma maybe she can send me some, and that salt! I have hawaiian salt and use that for my kalua pork! mmm im hungry and homesick!!

[MrJingjong]

@kratz808 Funny you asked that. I have been meaning to make a karaage video, and this would be an awesome recipe to share. Garlic chicken, it is!!

Not sure if you've heard about it or not, but chef from Cookingwithdog has been seriously injured while riding her bike in a Tokyo suburb. Is there anything that the YouTube community can do to help her? Maybe a "get well soon" video would help to lift her spirits?

[MrJingjong]

@yokohamaguy75 I think that's a great idea. I just saw the latest CWD video.
