Hawaiian style kalua pork and rice recipe

Ingredients

• 4-lb pork shoulder roast
• 1 tbsp sea salt
• 1 tsp liquid smoke
• 6 cups vegetable stock
• 4 cups rice
• 1 cup water

1. Cut pork shoulder roast in half and sprinkle with sea salt. Set aside.
2. Add liquid smoke (be careful because a little goes a long way) and vegetable stock to Instant Pot.
3. Place steam rack into pot and place pork shoulder roast on top of steam rack.
4. Secure lid and pressure cook on high for 90 minutes. Let pressure release naturally.
5. Using two forks, check pork shoulder roast for tenderness. If you can’t easily shred it, secure Instant Pot lid again and pressure cook on high for an additional 15 minutes. Repeat as needed.
6. When roast is easy to shred, transfer entire roast and liquid to large bowl and set aside.
7. Add 4 cups rice to Instant Pot bowl. Add 4 cups of the liquid from pork roast and 1 cup water to rice.
8. Secure lid. Use Rice mode on the Instant Pot to cook rice.
9. If you don’t have a Rice mode, pressure cook rice for 8 minutes on low pressure. Let the steam release naturally. Remove lid when steam has released.
10. While rice is cooking, shred pork.
11. I like to serve the shredded pork and rice with green beans, freshly sliced pineapple, and Hawaiian rolls on the side.
