Friday favorites for The Mouse. Either lau lau or kalua pork. Yesterday The Mouse’s choice was kalua pork. All rice (The Mouse has been trying to avoid rice for the week, less carbs).
Kalua Pork with Rice
Nom! Portion was huge, at least three meals worth. Salted just right, smoky taste (from liquid smoke The Mouse guesses). No sauce needed.
Don’t worry, The Mouse will share. 🙂
A nice end to a medium stressful week.
Hope your Friday went well.
Stay safe and well.

Quickie no-recipe.
Cubed Pork Shoulder
Browned in pot, no oil, water, liquid smoke. Braise for 90 minutes. Salt and a tiny bit of pepper to taste. Chunky shred.
Stove Top “Kalua Pork”
The Mouse must say, the result was pretty good. Hee hee. Not photogenic, but tasty. Mmm.
Stay safe and well.

No, nothing official, just what The Mouse was eating yesterday Friday. And yes he forgot to press the “publish” button, again. Sigh.
Breakfast, from 7-Eleven.
Kalua Pork and Cabbage over Rice
Kinda appropriate since The Mouse worked on the warehouse’s accounts receivable for 7-Eleven the whole day. Hee hee.
Lunch was home-made leftovers.
Braised Style Kalua Pork with Zucchini
Wasn’t bad, but the dish could have been helped with shredded sun-dried tomatoes added to the mix. None in the pantry and the warehouse doesn’t carry the product. No matter.
Stay safe and well.

This week’s meat.
Pork Shoulder, Cubed
Par-boil clean, fresh water, liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar, salt. 3-hour slow braise.
After the meat cooled down a bit, The Mouse used a spoon to break up the cubes into a shred. Kalua pork, wet style.
More pics later.
Stay safe and well.

The Mouse’s.
Kalua Pork Sandwich
No BBQ sauce, ever. Kinda messes with the flavor of the kalua pork (just The Mouse’s opinion).
However, now, The Mouse is okay with a couple of drops of ponzu sauce on the sandwich, just to give the taste a hint of vinegar/acid. Nom!
Stay safe and well.
