Tips and Tricks
What if I can’t find Kalua Pig?
You can cook Kalua Pig at home in the slow cooker with my Slow Cooker Kalua Pig recipe. If you have pulled pork, use 12 ounces (1 ½ cups) of pulled pork and add 1 tsp of liquid smoke when you add the pork to the onions.
Can I use other types of cabbage?
You can use napa cabbage or Chinese cabbage. If you like mustard cabbage, this would also be a great substitute; I would add an extra tablespoon of oyster sauce with the mustard cabbage to help balance out its bitterness.
How long does this last in the fridge?
This dish will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can easily double the recipe for meal prep or freeze the extra portion for up to 3 months.
