Preparation

Preparation of the Pork

1. Prepare the Pork

Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork shoulder. This will help to prevent the dish from being overly greasy.

2. Season the Pork

Rub the Hawaiian sea salt evenly all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well-coated to enhance the flavor.

3. Add Liquid Smoke

Drizzle the liquid smoke over the seasoned pork, using your hands to rub it in thoroughly for even flavor distribution.

4. Prepare for Cooking

Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour the water around the pork to keep it moist during cooking.

Cooking the Pork

5. Slow Cook the Pork

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

6. Shred the Pork

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

7. Serve the Kalua Pork

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices. Serve it warm, either on its own or in Hawaiian rolls with coleslaw and pineapple slices on the side.
