Hawaiian Kalua Pork and Cabbage

The previously posted Slow Cooker Kalua Pork recipe is extremely versatile. But it all stems from a childhood and homeland favorite.

Kalua pork can be served on it's own, on a bun with BBQ sauce, on nachos or the way I had it in school lunch, which is what I will demonstrate today. 

Kalua Pork and Cabbage


1/4 cup kalua pork
1 cloe garlic, minced
1/4 onion, sliced
1/4 cup cabbage, sliced
1-3 tbsp water
1/4 cup rice
1 tsp sriracha hot sauce

Start with the Kalua pork and juices and place in a pan over medium heat. Saute until pork is heated through. Add garlic to pan and saute for 2 minutes.

Add cabbage and onions to pan and mix with other ingredients. Gradually add water to deglaze pan and steam cabbage. Saute for 5 minutes or until cabbage is tender and onion is cooked. Pour over rice and enjoy. I also love putting some sriracha for a little extra kick.
