The Hawaiian Islands have a rich and unique culture. It is a mix of mostly pacific islanders. Christian Missionaries and king Kamehameha both affected the islanders. In the late 1800s the US annexed these Islands. All of these different people added something to the diet of the Islanders. Different fruits, meats and dishes. Chinese were imported for labor purposes and brought with them rice, soybeans and a variety of other foods. Also some Japanese came. Between the unique climate and this very eclectic mix of people, the food also turned out to be quite original, tofu is common and so is frying a pig over a pit.
The first dish i made was Hawaiian Chicken. It actually turned out to be a huge success in my house which was a pleasant surprise. It was quite simple to make, the only thing is that it was hard not to get the pineapple sauce too hot, so that the sugar didnt burn.
The other dish i made was Fried Rice. This dish was also pretty easy, and was actually a full meal for my family, which i didn't expect. Basically all this dish is is dumping a lot of stuff into rice and adding some flavoring. Delicious.
