The Best of Hawaii


Sure, we love to travel, but we love eating even more! When visiting friends in Honolulu, FoodPair discovered a delicious cuisine that's equal parts native Hawaiian and Asian-fusion with the soul of a surfer.

One of the common misconceptions of Hawaiian food is that it's built around SPAM. While we saw plenty of SPAM in Hawaii (including some decent looking SPAM Sushi) we're here to report that there's so much more to Hawaiian cuisine than ham in a can. From the ocean, Hawaii features great fresh seafood including Ahi Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Ono and Opah. From the farm, there are delicious tropical fruits including Pineapple, Guava and Lilikoi (aka Passion Fruit). Then, there are uniquely Hawaiian dishes like Shave Ice, the Puka Dog and the Plate Lunch. Oh, and don't forget about 100% Kona Coffee!

For those not yet familiar with Hawaiian food, Shave Ice is like a Snow Cone, but the ice is shaved off a block instead of being crushed. The result is a fine, snow-like ice which gets topped off with syrups featuring tropical fruit flavors. Puka Dogs are Hawaiian Hot Dogs stuffed into a small loaf of bread through a "puka" (Hawaiian for "hole") and topped with flavored garlic mayo and tropical relish. The Plate Lunch is a Hawaiian staple and favorite post-surfing meal consisting of two scoops of white rice and one scoop of macaroni salad topped with a flavorful meat dish like Teriyaki Beef, Shoyu (Japanese for "soy sauce") Chicken or Kalua Pork. We're not sure why, but that macaroni salad is magical!

To help you find the best Hawaiian dishes, we fired up the FoodPair search engine and found a handful of great recipes from across the Web.


Seared Ahi Tuna
On the mainland we eat seared tuna, in Hawaii they make "poke".
Ingredients: garlic, scallion, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, dark sesame oil, ahi tuna



Grilled Mahi Mahi with Avocado-Melon Salsa
It's time to try your hand at Mahi Mahi with tropical salsa.
Ingredients: avocado, cilantro, olive oil, red onion, mahi mahi, lime juice, cantaloupe, jerk seasoning, lime peel


Guava-Stuffed Chicken with Caramelized Mango
This is a great dish pairing chicken with tropical mango & guava.
Ingredients: garlic, mango, olive oil, spinach, butter, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, guava, cream cheese, white wine, chicken broth, chicken breast


Mom's Macaroni Salad
Every Plate Lunch starts with white rice and delicious macaroni salad.
Ingredients: scallion, parsley, paprika, salt, black pepper, mayonnaise, red bell peppers, hard boiled egg, macaroni


Shaved Ice with Coconut and Tropical Fruit
Make shave ice at home and top it with great Hawaiian ingredients!
Ingredients: mango, pineapple, papaya, water, coconut milk, tapioca, ice, coconut flakes, palm sugar



Now it's time to cook and eat!

  2. Debe tener en cuenta que no todos los bolsos baratos disponibles en el mercado están hechos con material de la mejor calidad. Ciertos fabricantes se comprometen con la calidad de los productos, para ofrecerlos a precios bajos. (etiquetas: Bolsos Michael Kors,Bolsos Michael Kors Baratos,Bolsos Michael Kors Outlet)

    Dessa grossister kommer också att erbjuda dig ett brett utbud av alternativ att välja mellan, med avseende på färg, storlek, material och design. Dessutom kan du även få dem skräddarsydda, genom att komma med en handväskedesign på egen hand. (Taggar: Väska Michael Kors,MK Väska,Michael Kors Rea)

    Si vous vous assurez que les sacs à main bon marché que vous achetez sont fabriqués par un fabricant réputé, à partir de matériaux de la meilleure qualité, vous pouvez être certain qu’ils dureront longtemps. Les femmes dans le monde d'aujourd'hui ont besoin de transporter beaucoup de choses avec elles, où qu'elles aillent. (Mots clés: Sac Longchamp Pas Cher,Sac Longchamp Solde,Sac Longchamp Pas Cher)

  27. Its lovely to read your positive review and to know that you, and also your storesmkoutlet son, have spent another enjoyable holiday with us. The increasing numbers Coach Outlet Store of tourists of widely differing cultures to a destination is heightening the pressure on destination managers to segment the market and cater for the Cheap Yeezy Shoes different needs of each cultural group. Manufacturing production, it turns out, is rising as well. Et quel bonheur toujours renouvel de dcouvrir et accompagner des personnalits aux modes de vie, aux parcours, aux histoires alimentaires si diffrents.. We attempted to reproduce the distribution of image separations for the lensed sources using a halo mass function eastbay.com taken from a numerical simulation that contains both dark matter and eastbay.com baryons. It's dangerous. Vulvva sex slaves videos. He noted that when not in use, luggage can be folded and stowed in about half the space needed when in use.. While most people Michael Kors Outlet Store might assume that Vancouver is passive when it comes to leading the way in innovation, there are some great talents michaelkors.com right here in our city that have or will be making the big leagues.. And there was a guy leaning and pssing against a front door. If so, how do I give up hope and not hold myself hostage to something Mk Outlet that may never happen? You're feeling pressured to change in Coach Factory Outlet Online one or more areas, and it makes you feel less worthy as a result.
