I've never tasted authentic kalua pork,but it sounds a little sweet to me. Good pork, well-roasted, has a sweetness of its own, that lends itself to all sorts of accompniments. I like to smoke a Boston butt or picnic ham in my electric smoker, for several hours, & usually just s&p them-then I shred it, top some w/ a carolina bbq sauce (lots of vinegar), my kids like it plain. It's good on biscuits, w/ sides of greens & cornbread, topping a salad, tossed w mac n' cheese. I think your pork recipe would be better if you simplified the pork, then did fruit & nuts on the side, as a chutney or topping,-I love soy & garlic, though...!
