Barbecued Island Chicken

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:11:00 -0400

Moist, easy and full of summer flavors! A great recipe that will remind you a breezy night on a tropical island. This recipe is loved by all ages as it is savory yet sweet from the pineapple juice and has an almost caramel flavor from the brown sugar. Preparation time includes allowing chicken to marinate. Stevia can replace brown sugar but I do not have the correct amount needed for this. Also please note that the fat and calorie count is incorrect as you discard most of the marinade. Enjoy! -- posted by sassafrasnanc

Turkey Burgers With Flavor

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 02:11:54 -0400

I haven't tried to cook with ground turkey for ten years. I never liked it before. Since it is so healthy and low in fat I tried to infuse the turkey with flavor and this recipe did the trick. The consistency is much improved too. If you like cilantro and mango flavors, you will love these delicious burgers. So easy to make and can be made a day ahead. -- posted by carmel housewife

Ono Chicken Wings

If you are going on a diet this is a good meal because it is full of protein and is packed with a whole bunch of vegatables. If you enjoy seafood you have to try this. -- posted by Redneck John

Earon's Hawaiian Plate Lunch Salad

Named in honor of my brother-in-law Earon, a native Hawaiian, who LOVES macaroni salad. He turned me on to it a few years back, and now I'm addicted too! This is my version, tweaked with some ranch dressing mix to pop the flavor just a bit. I like it simple, but feel free to add peas or celery or whatever else you like! -- posted by puppitypup

Kalua Pig in a Slow Cooker

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:15:11 -0400

Adapted from a recipe by Kikuchan at allrecipes.com. I'm told this is the commonest way to make this, even in Hawaii. Do try to get the Hawaiian salt; it adds a subtle flavor that will be missing with plain sea salt. You can often find it at high-end specialty stores like Trader Joe's, Whole Foods or Williams-Sonoma. Be sure to get a roast which has not been "injected with a salt solution" - it will make your dish terribly salty. If you use a smaller piece of meat, be sure to scale down the salt, the liquid smoke, and the cooking time! -- posted by DrGaellon

Kalakaua Royal Crown Pork Roast

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:35:44 -0500

This recipe is named in honor of King Kalakaua of Hawaii when Hawaii was a Kingdom and not a state. He was a lover of good food and I think he would have enjoyed this crown roast of pork. This recipe comes from a really old cookbook, dated 1901, so it has been around in this form for a long time. I hope everyone will enjoy it. It has been modified for todays kitchens. Marinade time not in time calculations. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Hawaiian Style Pancakes

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 14:46:12 -0500

The Gazebo Restaurant on Maui is known for their macadamia nut pancakes and I've tried to copy them to the delight of my friends here on the mainland. I think they're just as good without the nuts and that the real secret is serving them with coconut syrup and a dollop of coconut flavored whipped cream. The pancakes are based on Kittencal's Recipe #82094 with some alterations. If you like cream in your coffee, be sure to try a cup with coconut whipped cream on top! -- posted by TommyGato

Huli Huli BBQ Chicken

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 01:26:12 -0500

Jumped out at me while leafing through the August '08 issue of "Cuisine at Home." According to the article, this grilled chicken is cooked and sold from roadside stands in Hawaii. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds wonderful. At first sight it looks like a lot of work, but I bet it isn't. Just a lot of ingredients. If you make it before me, let us all know how it is, O.K? -- posted by Suzanna Marie

Banana Colada (Non-Dairy Mocktail)

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:16:02 -0500

A luscious-looking drink for all you coconut lovers out there (like me!) who want something smooth and creamy, but don't want or can't have alcohol or dairy. I found this over at the World's Healthiest Foods site while browsing their recipe collection. This variation on the more traditional pina colada recipe is a good cure any tropical cravings you might have! You'll want to make sure to use ripe bananas for this recipe, as it will provide more flavor and sweetness that way. Also, make sure to use only enough liquid to keep the blender going. NOTE: Cook time is freezing time for the bananas. If you're like me and usually have leftover ripe bananas already in the freezer waiting to be used, this recipe is a snap to put together. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

Hawaiian Tea Bread

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:11:59 -0500

I love this bread. It's so moist and versatile. I make it for breakfast, brunch, tea parties, and even desert. I like to use a mini loaf pan and give the loaves as gifts in a gift basket along with other "Hawaiian" treats. I also use valtrompia bread tubes in different shapes and then slice. The slices look so pretty on a plate. If you use the bread tubes, be sure to fold wax paper to fit over both ends of the tubes before fitting the lids on. I learned this recipe when I used to be a consultant for Pampered Chef. -- posted by JeanieK

Okinawan Purple Sweet Potato Pie With Haupia Topping

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:17:13 -0400

The Okinawan sweet potato is a very special potato. It doesn't look like much from the outside (<a href="http://labofedibles.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/the-ugly-duckling-okinawan-purple-sweet-potato/">This site</a> calls it the ugly ducking of potatoes), but it is one beautiful and delicious spud! This pie is a mixture of recipes from <a href="http://onokinegrindz.typepad.com/ono_kine_grindz/2004/10/okinawan_sweet_.html">Reid at Ono Kine Grindz </a> and my family's special shortbread recipe. I would not use any other potato for this recipe. It IS labor intensive, but the pay off is so worth it! This should be a smooth, rich, mouth-watering treat. People always ask me to make this for them. Cooking time does not include overnight refrigeration. -- posted by HawaiiChef79

Steve's Often Copied, Never Duplicated, Furikake Chex Mix

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:55:56 -0400

This is a sweet and spicy Asian variation of Chex mix. There are times I have made this by the bucketful, and it still runs out at parties. I often give this out as Christmas or hostess gifts. Be very careful. This party mix is HIGHLY addictive, very dangerous to keep around in big quantities and may result in some weight gain!This recipe is a combination of a few recipes, one from foodgeeks.com and another from beanpaste.blogspot.com. It also has a few of my own personal touches. By the way, furikake is a Japanese condiment that is usually put on top of hot sticky rice. Nori Komi Furikake is a type of furikake that is made with toasted white and black sesame seeds, sugar, black and green dried seaweeds and salt. I only ever use the Mishima brand because it tastes the best!About the cereals... I HIGHLY recommend the Honeycomb cereal, but it is optional. Also, you can use any combination of the Rice, Wheat, Corn and/or Multi-Grain Chex that you want. You can also use plain Cheerios, just as long as all of your cereals (including the Honeycomb) is equal to 8 cups. -- posted by HawaiiChef79

Tj's Maui Wowie Tuna Burgers

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 02:13:39 -0400

I got this recipe during a shopping trip at Trader Joe's. They are REALLY good. You can find the teriyaki in other stores, and I think it's important to use this brand. We double the recipe and use three eggs, as that seems to hold things together a little better. We put a bit of the teriyaki on both sides of the bun, and then pour it over the top of the patty as well. -- posted by Melissa and Her Pants

Banana Coconut Ice Cream (No Eggs)

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:58:21 -0400

We received an ice cream maker attachment for our KitchenAid mixer last Christmas. We also had a spare can of coconut milk left over from a curry recipe. After a few ice cream batches, I began wondering how to use the coconut milk in an ice cream recipe. This is the result. My favorite thing about homemade ice cream is the delicious taste from only a handful of ingredients, so this one is a simple, Philadelphia-style ice cream (no eggs). It has a rich coconut flavor that isn't over-powering. The banana and (optional) rum complement the tropical theme. -- posted by calamari

Asian Stuffed Eggplant With Hawaiian-Style Pork (Or Turkey) Hash

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:49:10 -0400

This is a dish that combines two things that I really like... eggplant and pork hash. Pork Hash in Hawaii brings back memories of the hunabutta days (childhood) when the man in the manapua (steamed Chinese bun) man would come around and sell his wares, kind of like the ice-cream man in the states. But instead of getting ice-cream, one could get pork hash, half moon, manapua, fried noodles, candies, almond cookies and other stuff. Pork Hash is kind of like a meatball wrapped in a won ton wrapper. It is usually served with chinese mustard mixed with soy sauce. Coleman's dry mustard mixed with soy sauce is a close approximation, and is the recommended accompaniment to this dish. You could also use a chinese black bean sauce or a sweet and thick teriyaki sauce. Good eating! -- posted by HawaiiChef79

Salted Salmon and Tomato Salad With Onions (Aka Lomi Lomi Salmon

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:55:05 -0400

This is a traditional modern Hawaiian dish. It is perfect for those dog days of summer when you want a cool salad. ***NOTE*** Salted Salmon is also known as cured salmon. If it's not available at our supermarket, there is a recipe here Recipe #136947 that I have never tried, but looks just right! By the way, "lomi-lomi" meand massage-massage in Hawaiian, and that's what you do to make this salad. -- posted by HawaiiChef79

Avocado, Banana and Mango Muffins

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:10:08 -0400

An unusual combination, to be sure, but one that looks so good I just had to share! I've recently discovered the wonders of avocados, and have been trying to find new ways to enjoy their heart-healthy benefits. Though I haven't yet tried these muffins (from the Kiwi Gardens B&B in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii), I will certainly do so the next time I have some extra avocados on hand. You can save some time by using thawed frozen mango chunks instead of fresh mango. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

Kathi's Ode to Almond Joy Haupia Pie

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:08:15 -0400

I hope you enjoy my version of this traditional coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert, which is often found at luaus and other local gatherings in Hawai'i. Key differences include a dark chocolate layer of coconut-flavored gelled-pudding (in addition to the regular white layer), and almond flavored whipped topping. So easy to make and like the recipe says, BEST IF REFRIGERATED OVERNIGHT to let the layers set up and the flavors develop - in the words of Alton Brown: "Your patience will be rewarded!" (This pie also freezes well - I would say easily keeps for 6 months in the freezer. If you want to make more than one at a time, use regular 8" instead of deep dish pie shells, and then split the coconut mixture and chocolate coconut mixture each into equal halves after step 12 & proceed w/the rest of the steps for each pie shell. You will then have one to share, and a spare!) -- posted by Kathi Ann

Pork-Stuffed Collard Greens

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:10:51 -0400

This is adapted from a recipe by Sunny Anderson of the Food Network. She first tasted a similar dish in Hawai'i, but uses collard leaves for a more southern/African flair. I changed the seasonings to be more Hawaiian/Pacific, and the preparation method to make it easier. You can grind your own semi-frozen boneless pork in a food processor if you can't find it pre-ground at the store. Different and tasty, plus carb-friendly! -- posted by ScrumptiousWY

Zesty Polynesian Scallops

Wed, 06 May 2009 00:56:24 -0400

This Polynesian dish is reminscent of the uniquely tropical cuisines of Hawaii and New Zealand. It's a very easy dish to prepare, and it makes a very elegant dinner, especially paired with a dry white wine or a tropical orange-mango blend fruit juice. But remember to always take care not to overcook scallops or they will become tough. As soon as they lose their translucence and turn opaque, they are done. -- posted by NorthwestGal

Hawaiian-Style Braised Pork With Stir-Fried Cabbage

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:37:46 -0400

This is a recipe that I found online and can't wait to make it. Here's what the author said. "My wife, Jean, and I run a coffee farm on the Big Island of Hawaii," writes George Fike of Keauhou Mauka, Hawaii. "I really love to cook, so we entertain a lot, and I enjoy planning the dinners as much as I do making them. I tell people the best restaurant in town is our house! Since I do most of the cooking, recipes must either be relatively fast or look after themselves. My recipe for Hawaiian-style pork has both of those qualities. It's based on the traditional Hawaiian kalua pig, in which the meat is steamed in an underground oven. For this version, you don't have to dig a pit in your back yard, and once everything's in the pot which involves chopping a few ingredients it cooks slowly but doesn't require a lot of attention." Complete this main course with steamed rice. -- posted by lazyme

Shrimp Ono Nui

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:52:01 -0400

Hawaii Da Kine Burgers W/ Sweet-Chili Glaze & Goat Cheese

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:52:00 -0400

Sutter Home's 2008 Build a Better Burger ® Winner!!!! "Da kine" is a key phrase in Hawaiian Pidgin, the language of the "locals." It can mean almost anything, but commonly refers to something good or genuine, or as in this case, "the best." This burger is as local as it gets, both in taste and ingredients. The patties are tender and juicy, thanks to fresh papaya and sweet onion, and are spiced with Hawaiian Portuguese sausage, which is so popular in Hawaii that it is on every breakfast menu (including McDonald’s). The accompanying salad employs heating oil to its smoking point, a local cooking method, resulting in a dynamite burger accompaniment. To complete the Hawaiian flavoring, I added a sweet glaze (Hawaiians love sweet and savory) and was inspired by our award-winning goat dairy to create a mouth-watering ginger-infused cheese spread. Ho, dat's da kine! Pairs with Zinfandel -- posted by College Girl

One of our favorite things at our local Hawaiian Mix Plate! Prep time includes the sitting overnight in the fridge. This definitely isn't a "quick" recipe but it is worth the wait. -- posted by QueenJellyBean

Seared Ahi Marinade

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:21:48 -0400

I wanted a recipe that was similar to the ones I have had a restaurant in the past. I searched the site and found some good sauces for seared ahi- but just not what I was looking for. I found one a lot like I was looking for at Simple Recipes- I tweeked it a bit and I'm posting it here for safe keeping because it was so yummy!! Mind you- it was fresh, wild caught ahi- which can make a difference. I'll let you know how it goes with frozen fish, should I break down and try it (but with two avid ocean fisherman in the neighborhood hood, it will be a desperate move!) -- posted by kda949

Kalbi Short Ribs

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:28:48 -0400

Korean Barbecue Short Ribs. Otherwise known as galbi, kelbi and even kalby. I used only honey skipping the white sugar that is normally used. But you can add white sugar (in addition to the honey) if you are not watching the 1/4 cup sugar intake. -- posted by ~Rita~

Saimin Noodle Soup W/Mushrooms

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:13:20 -0400

We think that our version of Saimin Noodle Soup comes REALLY close to the tasty soup we sampled (many times) at Hamura's Saimin Stand on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai. This recipe includes the making of your own homemade Dashi stock. Kombu and Bonito flakes can be found at asian grocery stores and most health food stores. Hope you like it as much as we do! -- posted by CeciMami

Lime in the Coconut Jello Shots (With Coconut Milk)

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:26:40 -0500

This is a fun & tasty treat to serve at parties. I found this on another web site when I was looking for jello shooters for our Hawaiian ethnic party. It didn't say what size of jello pkgs to use, I used small ones & for coconut milk I estimated @ 13 oz. I liked these because they weren't quite as sweet as other jello shooters & smooth tasting with the coconut milk. -- posted by Mustang Sally 54269

Sweet barbecue sauce and zingy pineapple are a natural combo, and the English muffin "buns" are just the right size for the burgers. From Sunset magazine. -- posted by SweetJezebel
