• About 3 hours before meat is done, skim off as much fat from juices as possible then remove bay leaf and garlic. Add cabbage. (If it doesn't all fit, just use as much as will fit - it will cook down.) Re-cover and continue cooking on low.
• Remove meat from slow cooker and shred, using two forks. Drain juices from pot into a large glass measuring cup. Put 1 1/2 cups of juices into a saucepan; return the rest of the juices to the slow cooker with the shredded meat and cabbage. Reduce slow cooker to Keep Warm.
• Bring juices in saucepan up to a boil. Drizzle in cornstarch slurry. Pour gravy into a sauceboat and serve alongside the meat. Serve with sticky rice, or with Hawaiian or Portuguese sweet rolls. You can offer barbecue sauce on the side, but you won't need it!

HAWAIIAN KALUA PIG AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cook cup of rice and kernels of corn in two cups of water until rice is substantially done. Add cabbage, onion, and sausage, and gently beat in both eggs. Bring mixture to a temperature high enough to kill bacteria and cook eggs, then dissolve chicken bullion cubes. Season to taste (butter, or olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and basil are suggested). I recommend that you let this sit in the refrigerator overnight to improve the overall flavor before serving. (Some have suggested "Kim-Chee", which is spicy/hot, Korean, "pickled" cabbage as a side. Instead of that cost, you might try some cole slaw with a few shots of cajun hot sauce in it or some corn salad.)
