Hawaiian Pulled Pork & Pork Belly Burnt Ends

Opossum54

As my introductory post I wanted to show off a cook for my twin daughters birthday a month ago now.  The theme was Moana, which is a new Disney movie for those who don't have young kids.  Apparently nowadays all kids party's must have a theme, but the kids love it and I was down to mix up the typical menu.  After searching the internet for ideas I settled on doing a Char Sui Style Pulled Pork with Asian Slaw on Kings Hawaiian Rolls and while I was at it used the same marinade and sauce to make some Belly Burnt Ends.  I didn't get a fully assembled pic due to the chaos of the party but it all turned out really well.  Didn't need the backup pulled pork and got to freeze it for later.

Costco twin pack of boneless pork shoulder & Pack of Pork Belly, both marinated in Char Sui Style Sauce overnight


Was worried how the Hawaiian Style would turn out so I made the second shoulder a standard BBQ style for back


Both rubbed down with a homemade garlic season salt


Fully loaded Egg


Before Pulling the Burnt Ends for Braising


Finished Burnt Ends with a thickened up version of the Char Sui Sauce.

@Opossum54 - Now that is a Hawaiian King entrance right there.  Great cook and result.  Talk about nailing a theme.  (No pressure for next year ).

Congrats and welcome aboard.  Enjoy the journey.  Above all, have fun as you clearly did with that cook.

That looks so good, it's almost unfair!
