Kalua Pork

Rice

Eggs

Method

Kalua Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with liquid smoke and sea salt. If using, wrap the pork in banana leaves for extra flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker and cook on low for 10-12 hours or until the meat is tender and shreds easily.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker, shred it with two forks, and mix it with the juices in the cooker.

Rice Preparation

  1. 4

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

Gravy Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Gravy

    In a saucepan, combine beef broth, soy sauce, and ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 7

    Thicken the Gravy

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 cup of water until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the simmering gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Eggs Preparation

  1. 8

    Fry the Eggs

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the cooked jasmine rice, followed by the shredded kalua pork, a fried egg on top, and drizzle with gravy. Garnish with sliced green onions and a drizzle of sriracha sauce.
