Hawaiian food for b-day party...?

Question

My husband and I went to Oahu, Hawaii for our honeymoon in 2007. I want to make some luau style foods SIMILAR TO THE ONES WE HAD THERE (therefore, not Hawaiian Punch and potato salad...). I want to make twice baked potatoes (not Hawaiian, but he loves them), and something with pineapple... And I remember they roasted a pig and had some kind of delicious sauce and "fish rolls". Do you know how to make that authentic tasting sauce or how to make/where to buy "fish rolls"?

Answer 1

Here are some pretty basic Hawaiian recipes that we grew up with.  Not sure what kind of sauce you had, usually Kalua Pua'a does not have a sauce, other than the juice made when cooking.

Kalua Pork

5-8 lb pork butt

6 T Hawaiian salt or kosher salt

10 T liquid smoke

6 ea Ti leaves/ or banana leaves

foil

Preheat oven to 400F.

Slit pork in several places, rub salt and liquid smoke into pork. Sear pork on all sides. Wrap pork with ti leaves, then in the foil, place on a small rack in a baking pan,

Bake at 400F for 1 hour, then reduce heat to 350F and continue to bake for 3 hours. Add sweet potatoes or yams the last 1/2 hrs to the pan. Shred pork and add juices from the pan to the pork.

==================

Laulau’s

1 lb luau

12 ea ti leaves

1 1/4 lb pork

3/4 lb salted butterfish

1 T Hawaiian salt

Wash luau and ti leaves; remove stem and fibrous part of the veins. Cut pork and fish into 6 pieces. Place pork in bowl, add salt, and work in thoroughly. Arrange 5 or more luau leaves on the palm of the hand. Place one piece of pork and one piece of of fish on leaves and fold to form a bundle. Place laulau on the end of a ti leaf and wrap tightly. Wrap anohter ti leaf around in the opposite direction forming a flat package. Tie securly with string. Make the remaining laulaus. Steam 4-6 hours or steam in a pressure cooker for 1 hour. Makes six servings.

Huli Huli Chicken

3 fryers, split or quartered

1/4 c catsup

1/4 c shoyu

1/2 c chicken broth

1/3 c white wine

1/4 c frozen pineapple juice concentrate.

pinch of fresh or dried ginger.

drop or two of worcestershire sauce.

Mix ingredients in bowl, brush over washed chicken splits. Grill over barbecue, turning and basting with sauce until it is done (about 40 minutes). For a real hawaiian picnic lunch, eat with sticky rice, macaroni salad.
