HULI HULI PORK
This is a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens, and we thought it was terrific. The recipe says it can be used for chicken, too. But we stuck with the recipe as it was written and used pork, and it turned out perfect. Prep time includes the minimal marinating time.

Steps:
- Place pork in a large, heavy zip-lock plastic bag set in a shallow dish; set aside.
- For marinade, in a small bowl combine ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, wine (or lime juice), ginger and garlic. Remove 1 cup of the mixture to a small bowl; cover and chill until needed. Pour remaining mixture over pork; seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
- Drain pork.
- FOR CHARCOAL GRILL, arrange coals around a drip pan. Test for medium-high heat above the pan. Place pork on grill rack over pan. Cover and grill 20 minutes. Brush with 1/4 cup of the reserved marinade. Cover and grill 15-20 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer registeres 155°F when inserted into thickest part of the meat. FOR GAS GRILL, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Adjust for indirect cooking, and grill as directed above.
- Remove pork from grill. Cover pork with foil and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. (The pork will rise another 5°F during standing.).

HAWAIIAN HULI-HULI PORT TENDERLOINS
THis is a better homes and gardens 2007 recipe and makes 6-8 servings. Eric and I liked it. I prefer general Tso sauce. We used a 6 pack of tenderloins a little over a pound. I dont think there is enough sauce unless you make a small batch like I did or grill like they said. I don't think you would have enough sauce if you used...

Steps:
- 1. Place pork in a heavy zip lock plastic bag set in a shallow dish; set aside. In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients, mix well, set aside 3/4 cup of marinade in a small container with cover and chill until needed. Pour the remaining marinade over pork; seal bag and refrigerate 4-24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
- 2. Drain pork, reserving marinade. Place pork on grill rack over pan, cover and grill over medium-high heat for 20 minutes. Brush with marinade from the bag, cover and grill 15-20 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part. Remove pork from grill and cover with foil; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
- 3. Put the reserved 3/4 cup of marinade in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Transfer sauce into a small bowl and serve along with the grilled pork. Enjoy!
- 4. This is what I did: Put the meat in the bag as stated above with all the sauce. then poured it all in a baking dish and cooked 30 minutes at 375. Saw the sauce wouldn't thicken up like I wanted so I poured it all into a fry pan and cooked on med until the sauce was thick, turning the meat every 5-10 minutes.
- 5. Next time I will slice the pork in thin strips, sauted with chunks of onion in sauce until sauce is thick then add freshly cooked snow peas and toss. then serve over noodles or rice. I think it would be great that way.
WHOLLY HULI PULLED PORK
Wonni's ingredients, my measurements are all approximate, because I haven't found it local yet. Posting it here, off of the back of the bottle. So far, no luck finding it in Oregon, so I'll make it. Kids, this is Mom's go to recipe for pulled pork. As with all of my recipes, play with it, make it your own. I measure by the pinch, clump 'Oh, that looks about right method' that my family taught me.

Steps:
- Mix up the sauce. MInce or grate onions, garlic and ginger. Dump everything but the pork and canola oil in a bowl, mason jar, whirry thing, whatever works for you. Shake it up, mix it up, make sure the sugar dissolves and the flavors get to know each other. Best if it sits in the fridge for a while, but not necessary. If you use granulated onion, garlic and ground ginger, it lasts a long, long time.
- Marinate the pork in the fridge. Flavor is good after 2 hours, but great without this step. (I skip this).
- Let pork sit at room temperature, about 30 minutes is good. Sear the pork in the pressure cooker, or pan, just get it to a nice brown because it adds a LOT of flavor. Use less oil if your pan is non stick.
- Dump the sauce on top. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pot a bit to mix all the flavor together.
- This is where it is up to you. Pressure cooker, at about 15 lbs pressure for 55 to 70 minutes is the best way to push all the flavor in the pork and get the right texture. IMPORTANT Let the pressure escape on it's own, do NOT release pressure quickly or the meat will seize up, get tough and lose moisture. Other methods work great, just make sure to deglaze the searing pan so you can use that flavor in the cooking process. Crock pot or slow cooker, 6 hours. Oven braise 325 for an hour and a half, covered, until meat reaches 160 and falls apart, not my favorite method. Grill it up, shred, dump the sauce over the top. Your choice, the pressure cooker works the best for us.
- Shred the pork as soon as it is cooled enough to handle with 2 forks or a fork and the back side of a butter knife, or clean fingers, before chilling or it will not fall apart. Great made in advance or frozen for OAMC.
- Also use sauce/marinade (can thicken with a corn starch slurry at a simmer in a small pot) for chicken, seafood, shrimp, whatever, it's a great sauce on rice.

Tips:
- For best results, use a pork shoulder roast that has a good amount of marbling. This will help the pork stay moist and flavorful.
- Be sure to score the pork roast before cooking. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of brown sugar and cayenne pepper in the marinade to suit your taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork roast in a Dutch oven or slow cooker. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Serve the pork roast with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
