HAWAIIAN-STYLE BRAISED PORK WITH STIR-FRIED CABBAGE
This is a recipe that I found online and can't wait to make it. Here's what the author said. "My wife, Jean, and I run a coffee farm on the Big Island of Hawaii," writes George Fike of Keauhou Mauka, Hawaii. "I really love to cook, so we entertain a lot, and I enjoy planning the dinners as much as I do making them. I tell people the best restaurant in town is our house! Since I do most of the cooking, recipes must either be relatively fast or look after themselves. My recipe for Hawaiian-style pork has both of those qualities. It's based on the traditional Hawaiian kalua pig, in which the meat is steamed in an underground oven. For this version, you don't have to dig a pit in your back yard, and once everything's in the pot - which involves chopping a few ingredients - it cooks slowly but doesn't require a lot of attention." Complete this main course with steamed rice.

HAWAIIAN-STYLE BRAISED PORK
You can use any cut of pork you desire. I like pork shoulder because it has more flavor. This cooks slowly and does not require a lot of attention,it's easy to make, and even better if you prepare this a day ahead, the flavors really intensify, just rewarm over low heat. Because of the soy sauce, add the salt in at the end of cooking. If possible make this with only green onions. Serve this with rice, this is a wonderful pork dish!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for this recipe, as it is flavorful and has a good amount of fat that will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Let the pork marinate overnight: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Sear the pork before braising: This will help to develop a nice crust on the outside of the meat and lock in the juices.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the pork its flavor, so be sure to use a combination of flavorful ingredients, such as soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger.
- Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: This will take about 2 hours, depending on the size of the pork shoulder.
- Serve the pork with stir-fried cabbage: This is a traditional Hawaiian side dish that is perfect for serving with braised pork.

Hawaiian-style braised pork with stir-fried cabbage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the stir-fried cabbage is a healthy and refreshing side dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
