🌟 Why This Recipe Is Pure Magic
We all love pulled pork.
We all love smoky BBQ.
But this?
It’s different.
Authentic Kalua Pig isn’t sauced or sweetened.
It’s simple.
It’s pure.
It’s seasoned with just sea salt and smoke, then slow-cooked for hours until every fiber melts in your mouth.
And now?
You can make it at home—with only:
Pork shoulder (aka pork butt)
Hawaiian sea salt (or coarse kosher salt)
Liquid smoke (the key to that authentic underground oven flavor!)
No liquid smoke? You’re missing the magic.
But use it right—and you’ll fool even island-born aunties.
