How to Cook dishes from Hawaii
In mid-Pacific,
Hawaii is the western most state of the
USA, and its cuisine is
influenced by its Polynesian heritage.
It also includes recipes imported from typical
United States cuisine,
as well as influences from
cuisine
(Hawaii is home to a large ethnic Japanese population),
Chinese cuisine,
Korean cuisine,
Philippine cuisine and
Portuguese cuisine.
Vegetables, fruit, nuts, beef, fish and seafood form the main
ingredients of Hawaiian cuisine. Additionally, Spam
(the canned meat product by the Hormel Foods Corporation) is very popular
in the islands.
Some Hawaiian recipes and dishes include:
- Laulau - A modern version of a traditional Hawaiian dish.
It is made from salted butterfish, and beef, chicken or pork
in a taro leaf. It is usually eaten with macaroni salad and rice.
- Loco moco - White rice with a hamburger patty,
fried egg, and gravy.
- Lomi salmon - Raw diced
salmon with tomato and other salad vegetables.
It is served cold, sometimes on ice.
- Manapua - A white bun with pork filling. This dish is based on
Chinese cuisine's bao.
- Pipikaula - Salted and dried beef, similar to beef jerk. The recipe originates with
the Hawaiian cowboys ("paniolos") of the the island's beef ranches.
- Poi - A traditional Hawaiian dish made from the corm (part of the root) of
the taro plant. It is mashed or steamed, and water is added, until it becomes
a thick viscous liquid.
- Poke - A salad made from cubes of raw fish, tobiko (flying fished roe),
seaweed, tofu
and various vegetables such as onions, scallions and tomatoes. It is flavored with sea salt,
sesame oil,
soy sauce, and chiles or red pepper.
- Saimin - Noodle soup.
- Spam musubi - A block of slated rice with a slice of Spam (cooked or uncooked) on top,
joined together using dried
seaweed (nori). In appearance, it resembles
Japanese cuisine's sushi - however spam musubi is made
using salted rather vinegared rice, and of course has a slice of Spam on the top.
- Teriyaki - Meat (Spam is sometimes used for this too) in a sweet
soy sauce
("teriyaki sauce"), then cooked
by broiling or grilling. It is of course inspired by
Japanese cuisine's teriyaki dishes.
