Hula-Huli Brisket

This is a different twist to regular types of brisket. I used a simple Chinese style rub that can be used on its own with different varieties of meat or poultry.

The sauce is a bottled huli style sauce that can also be used on its own for marinades. Combined together it came out to a Smokey sweet teriyaki style brisket.
