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.

    Poi

  • 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.

Product Description:
Good Food, Classic Recipes & the Remarkable Story of Hawai'i's Mixed Plate

Kau kau: It's the all-purpose pidgin word for food, probably derived from the Chinese "chow chow." On Hawai'i's sugar and pineapple plantations, kau kau came to encompass the amazing range of foods brought to the Islands by immigrant laborers from East and West: Japanese, Portuguese, Filipinos, Puerto Ricans, Koreans and others. On the plantations, lunch break was "kau kau time," and the kau kau could be anything from adobo to chow fun to tsukemono.

In Kau Kau: Cuisine and Culture in the Hawaiian Islands, author Arnold Hiura—a writer with roots in the plantation culture—explores the rich history and heritage of food in Hawai'i, with little-known culinary tidbits, interviews with chefs and farmers, and a treasury of rare photos and illustrations.
