Bruddah Bryan of the Skinny Hawaiians describes what makes up a typical Hawaiian Food Plate Lunch here in Hawaii. Beef stew, lau lau, poke, mac salad and chi...
"Kaukau" is a pidgin slang word meaning "food" or "to eat." The Hawaiian term for food is `ai. The two theories on the origin of the word "kaukau" are the Hawaiian word for table, pâkaukau, and the Chinese word for food, chow chow. In Hawaii we say "We go kaukau!", I would say, "I hungry I like kaukau!" or "Let's kaukau!" The Cuisine of Hawaii is a fusion of foods brought by immigrants to the Hawaiian Islands, particularly of Portuguese, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Polynesian etc.

Basic Ahi Poke Recipe
Ingredients:
This is the most basic recipe for ahi poke, served as a pupu or appetizer at most luaus and Hawaiian dinners.
Season ahi with Hawaiian salt. Add all ingredients, mix well then chill. Toss well without smashing fish chunks.
You can get fancy by adding toasted sesame seeds, chili pepper flakes, chopped minced seaweed (ogo), and oyster sauce etc. Poke is redefined everyday!!
Poke is such a simple dish but like Foodland Hawaii, the variations can go over 31 flavors as in ice cream!! LOL
Enjoy!!
i love mine with a nice hot bowl of steaming white rice with the cold freshly made ahi poke!! :9 mmmmmmmm
- 4 cups ahi (yellowfin tuna, sashimi grade) diced
- 1/2 cup onion, minced
- 1/4 cup green onion, minced
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- Hawaiian salt and pepper to taste
