For a more authentic flavor, consider using smoked sea salt.
If you don't have Hawaiian sea salt, coarse sea salt is a good substitute. Adjust the amount to taste.
Serve the Kalua Pig on Hawaiian rolls with coleslaw for a classic slider, or over rice with a side of pineapple.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

    Great recipe! I used smoked paprika instead of liquid smoke and it turned out amazing.

    The pork was so tender it practically fell apart. I will definitely be making this again.
