- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 3-5 hours.
- Meanwhile, wash and thinly slice your cabbage or bok choy, set aside.
- Remove pork butt from oven and shred. Incorporate the juices in the pan, it has flavor and will keep your kalua from drying out if reheating.

- Serve ¾ C warm.
Notes
Pro Tip: Low and slow but well worth the wait, you can plan to make this recipe a day in advance! Just wait to add the greens til you reheat the pork.
