Method

Kalua Pig Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the pork shoulder with liquid smoke and Hawaiian sea salt. Wrap the pork tightly in banana leaves or aluminum foil, ensuring it's completely sealed to keep the moisture in.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the wrapped pork in a roasting pan and cook in the oven for 4-6 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes before shredding.

Lomi Tomato Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Lomi Tomato

    While the pork cooks, dice the ripe tomatoes and slice the green onions thinly. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, green onions, Hawaiian sea salt, and fresh lime juice. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Nachos Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a large serving platter, arrange the wonton chips in an even layer. Top the chips generously with the shredded Kalua pig, followed by the lomi tomato mixture. Drizzle sweet chili sauce and wasabi aioli over the top to finish.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the chips are crisp and the toppings are fresh. Enjoy your Kalua Nachos!
