Directions:
If pork is frozen, defrost for 1 - 2 days in the frig.

Prep: Cut slits around pork and place 1/2 of garlic cloves inside the slits.
Next cover with salt, liquid smoke and shoyu mixture.

Wrapping pork: Line baking pan with foil, if you can get Ti leaves, then lay leaves on foil. Place pork
on the leaves then wrap. Use toothpicks to hold leaves in place. If you can't get leaves, just use
foil, tearing enough to wrap pork completely, use 3 or 4 sheets of foil.
Once wrapped, cover the whole thing with more foil and crimp top to bottom to seal together.

Bake at 400º F for 1 hour, then reduce heat to 375º F for another 4 1/2 hours. After baking,
place in a dutch oven, add 2 cups of water and bring to boil. Start shredding pork.
Flavor with more liquid smoke and shoyu to individual taste.
