Kalua Pork
(serves 8)

2 to 4 pounds pork roast
soy sauce
2 cups water
1-1/2 tablespoons rock salt
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
Chili pepper "water"*

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

1.  Score pork all around, about 1/4" deep cuts.  Rub meat all over with soy sauce.

2.  Wrap meat in heavy foil; place into a roasting pan containing 1-inch of water.  Cover over all with foil.

3.  Place into oven, checking meat for tenderness after 3-1/2 hours.  Bake 1/2 hour more if it is not yet tender (it should shred easily).  Shred meat and set aside.

4.  Boil 2 cups of water, add the rock salt and liquid smoke; cook until dissolved.

5.  Combine mixture thoroughly with shredded pork.  Season with chili pepper "water" to serve.

* fresh, frozen Hawaiian chilis soaking in water.

Serve with side dishes of short grain rice, macaroni slad, lomi salmon and onions seasoned with Hawaiian salt.
