Pulled Pork
Chef Jason of www.cookingsessions.com shares a Hawaiian pulled pork recipe for Kalua Pig (also called Kalua Pork) in this episode of Chef Tips. Unlike Southern pulled pork, this recipe for pulled pork uses Hawaiian salt, banana leaves and liquid smoke as its base. This is one of the most common Hawaiian luau recipes. This kalua pig recipe is perfect served as BBQ pulled pork with coleslaw and barbecue sauce, or as a traditional kalua pork recipe with poi, shaved green onion and fresh diced tomatoes. It is also fantastic made into a pulled pork sandwich! The pulled pork sauce uses the pan drippings, plus additional Hawaiian salt and Mesquite-flavored liquid smoke, which mimics the kiawe wood from the imu pit. We hope you enjoy this unique recipe for how to make pulled pork. Don’t forget to use it in a kalua pig quesadilla. It’s awesome! For the complete recipe, go to http
Awesome. Thanks.
some hawaiian families i know that still cook kalua pig the traditional way actually do substitute the ti leaves for banana leaves cuz like you said, itʻs easier to find and it works just as well!
*stomach growls*
nice it looks like the “Cochinita Pibil” which is the same method but instead the liquid smoke use Achiote paste and sour orange juice
loved the vid!
you are living life i really admire that rock on!
@missnget
Heehee, it does sound dfunny
hey thats near were i live

It’s 10:50 in the morning and I’m already hungry. This looks just too delicious.
Do you have your own t.v. show? If not, you should!!
Looks great.
What purpose do the banana leaves serve? Is it like wrapping things in bacon so that it doesn’t dry out?
*extreme salivating*
Awesome! This looks really similar to the recipe I’ve been using, only better! It’s been ages since I had kalua pig, and I can’t wait to try this one at home! Thanks, Jason, as always for your amazing recipes and videos.
That’s a lot of work to pull all that pork by hand.
Oh my god, when I saw this, I was looking at my bag of Doritos in disgust XD Loved this show! Gonna have to try this!

This looks like the Turkish food named “Tandir”, which uses whole lambs. A deep hole is dug in the ground, and the lamb is hung down in it, cooked slowly overnight. Smells and tastes heavenyl. You need to pull pieces of meat and eat with lavash bread (: NOM
OMG this is making me hungry!
have you ever tried Shoyu Chicken?
Just perfect mate. Great recipe, I will certainly try. Always fun and informative. cheers! KtC
Wow, it’s like easy barbecue. Well, barbecue isn’t hard, but it’s very time consuming. Barbecued pork usually takes 12 hours for me to smoke, this should take 1 1/2 to 2 1/2, if even that much. It looks really good!
Really great! I’ll have to try this sometime.
This is similar to Carnitas ( CAR-KNEE-TAS) it’s basically the same thing except i don’t think the leaves are used. you should check it out. it’s mexican food im sure you’ve had it
Hello, Chef Jason.
Based on your Recipe, I think a BETTER way to make pulled pork is to slow cook it in the oven (I am talking about 225-250 degrees for 8-12 hours). This way, the meat stays moist, yet it is VERY VERY tender. Also, along the first 4 hours, the liquid smoke and salt would have time to soak into the meat, making the meat more marinated.
are the leaves required for this recipe?
