It has been quite a while since I last posted but I am excited to get this blog going again. If you like to cook, like I do, you know that the key to good cooking is great ingredients, having access to good kitchen tools and making sure you have an organized kitchen. Here are some of my favorite <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=polynesiankit-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=4e5d40793820969e1b0a7c14b649501f&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=kitchen&keywords=Drawer organization" target="_blank">Kitchen </a> organization tools that I love and recommend: <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Joseph-DrawerStore-85168-Cutlery-Organizer/dp/B08QH3SGTC/ref=bsms_c_kitchen_sccl_1/142-8872247-6485817?pd_rd_w=eArAY&amp;amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.309d45c5-3eba-4f62-9bb2-0acdcf0662e7&amp;amp;pf_rd_p=309d45c5-3eba-4f62-9bb2-0acdcf0662e7&amp;amp;pf_rd_r=QF7E6J6K2T39DSDRYY6X&amp;amp;pd_rd_wg=kZ7se&amp;amp;pd_rd_r=4d717cd7-9e91-4b17-95a9-acb042122dbe&amp;amp;pd_rd_i=B0C78B7JK2&amp;amp;psc=1&amp;_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=polynesiankit-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;linkId=b03687a5422c6f2d03e426d8de0d552a&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325" target="_blank">Sleek Utensil Organizer: </a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This simple recipe is delicious and easy on the budget, our kid’s favorite breakfast to have with hot cocoa. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ingredients: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3 cups of flour </div>
<div>
3 cups water </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1/4 to 1 cup of vegetable or Canola Oil for pan frying, just enough to cover about 1/2 inch up the side of the pan. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Instructions:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Combine flour and sugar, add water and stir until combined throughly. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
The benefits of crock pot cooking is that it is easy and simplifies the task. The famous catch phrase "set it and forget it" (I won't mention the infomercial) comes to mind in this sense. Traditionally as Polynesians we would bake the pig in underground ovens until the Pig was cooked as desired. My wife and I were both born here in the United States and have experienced a fusion of our cultural heritage and the melting of the American delicacy. The rustic nature of a cooked pig skinned, gutted, and left as a glutinous trophy to be celebrated is a sight for sore eyes. I have been back to my parent's homelands and have often felt like an outsider. Longing to connect to my roots and my personal desire to share in the rich heritage of my ancestors is often expressed in our cooking. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of our personal favorite dishes has always been Kalua Pig. Like many Polynesian dishes the recipe is very simple. Four ingredients:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Pork (5-10 lbs) -I suggest Pork Butt or Shoulder</div>
<div>
2. Liquid Smoke -I suggest Hickory</div>
<div>
3. Salt-I suggest Hawaiian sea salt (Pink) or Kosher Salt</div>
<div>
4. Green Onions-(Optional) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Keeping it simple I think pays homage to our culture and ancestors. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as our Family.</div>

I purchased the pork the morning I was going to cook. This a Pork Butt roast from Walmart approximately 6.95 lbs. Honestly I have never cooked Kalua this way, but I didn't anticipate any difficulties. I began prep shortly after dropping the kids to school anticipating that it would be ready by the time they got home. 4-6 hours.</div>

This is the liquid smoke and salt that I used. The liquid smoke is hickory flavored and the salt is Pink Himalayan that we had in the kitchen. I have tried various salts when making Kalua, the main thing is to use moderately because you can always add more.</div>

The first step is to prep the meat for seasoning. I basically cut laterally incisions into the meat until hitting the bone. If your meat is boneless I would suggest approximately 1 inch cuts. Further, I poked holes in the meat in regular intervals.</div>

On the bottom side of the Butt Roast I did the same as the top. I cut lateral lines and poked holes in the meat. If the amount of fat is undesirable to you, you may trim the fat to your liking, but this may reduce the overall flavor profile of the dish. To each their own.</div>

Before you do the above pictured step I patted the meat dry with paper towels to ensure that the Liquid smoke would adhere to the meat. Once the meat had been towel dried I applied the Liquid Smoke liberally to ensure that the Pork was covered on all sides and in the grooves of the incisions. Next I applied a good amount of salt on all sides and in the grooves. ***I know that I do not have exact measurements for the liquid smoke and the salt--but to say I used it liberally assumes that meat was well covered in the seasoning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next step not pictures is to add the meat to a crock pot and add approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water cooking the meat on High for approximately 2-6 hours depending on type of cut and weight. I checked the meat approximately every 2 hours. When it is done, the meat will easily be shredded with a fork.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before serving I sliced a bunch of green onions, added a couple table spoons of Aloha Soy Sauce, a couple tablespoons of liquid smoke, and couple more table spoons of salt and let it cook on low for another 30 minutes.</div>

1 block of KoKo Samoa from Tupea's Polynesian Market. Sugar to taste. Sweeten Lightly with Carnation Milk. 5 scoops of rice: May use freshly cooked Rice; but I prefer using left-overs from Dinner the night before. <br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Bring Water to a rolling boil</li>
<li>Add KoKo Samoa</li>
<li>Wait til Samoa is diluted: Water and minerals will appear blackened (Although we call this the Browning Process)</li>
<li>Add Brown sugar (2 Tablespoons)</li>
<li>Add White Sugar (Carnation Milk)</li>
<li>Finally, Add Rice (Left-overs Recommended) New Rice is too fresh.</li>
<li>Serve to children at mild temperatures (May Add Whole Milk to calm)</li>
<li>Feel free to modify this recipe to your liking:</li>
</ol>
<div>

Chinese Tea Cookies (Kong Sui Ban)<br />
<br />
Recipe Source: Honolulu Star Bulletin- Betty Shimabukuro <br />
<br />
1 cup water<br />
5 slabs (about 13 ounces) wong tong (Chinese brown sugar)<br />
1/2 cup white sugar<br />
5 1/2 cups flour<br />
2 tablespoons baking powder<br />
1/4 cup honey<br />
1 cup vegetable oil<br />
2 eggs<br />
<br />
Bring water to boil. Break wong tong into pieces and add to water. Stir
to dissolve. Remove from heat and stir in white sugar to dissolve.<br />
<br />
Whisk together flour and baking powder.<br />
<br />
Combine honey and oil; beat in eggs. Add to flour mixture and stir to
combine. Add sugar syrup and mix until smooth. Let rest 1 hour.<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover cookie sheets with baking parchment.<br />
<br />
Scoop dough onto cookie sheets and press flat (about 1/2 inch thick).
Cookies should be 3 inches wide for traditional size, but it's OK to
make them smaller. Bake 12 to 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
Cool slightly on cookie sheet, then move cookies to a rack. Makes 20 large cookies.<br />
<br />
Note: 1 1/2 cups brown sugar may be used in place of wong tong.<br />

<a href="http://store.tupeaspolynesianmarket.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_31&products_id=105">Mochiko</a> chicken is delicious. It's sort of an island style chicken nugget. It's definitely more of a Japanese/ Hawaiian dish. You can purchase some <a href="http://store.tupeaspolynesianmarket.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_31&products_id=105">Mochiko Flour</a> or <a href="http://store.tupeaspolynesianmarket.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9_20_21&products_id=88">Aloha Soy Sauce</a> from our online store.

(Remember, it's that long, slow cooking that makes it taste so good).<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/Hlto</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972830686786857307.post-6637614317896280322011-04-15T00:19:00.000-07:002011-04-15T00:19:51.560-07:00Kumara(Kumala or Sweet Potato) Pie<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />

<br />
use 4-1/2 teaspoons of yeast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cups of sugar and separate 1 tbsp</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8 cup of flour<br />
4 tsp. Baking Powder</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
**For a smaller batch use half of each of the above measurements.**</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Directions: </b></u></div>
<ul>
<li>In a small bowl stir yeast and 1 cup lukewarm water and 1 tbsp. of sugar until combined. Allow yeast to dissolve. Set aside.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>In a separate bowl: Mix flour, baking powder and sugar until combined. Stir in yeast/water mixture until combined and completely mixed. Slowly add more water and continue mixing with your hands. Add water as needed until dough is a good consistency.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
(The measurements are not always precise, so just add a bit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more flour 1/4 cup at a time if your dough is too runny.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li> Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to rise, about 45 minutes to an hour or until it has doubled in size. Dough should be thicker than a pancake batter but not as dry as a bread dough.</li>
</ul>
(The texture of the dough will change after proofing.)<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Heat vegetable oil for deep frying.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil. Try using the hand method, as seen in the video, ensuring that you are dropping dough close to the oil to prevent splatters. If you prefer to you can also scoop dough with a large spoon and push the dough off of the spoon carefully dropping dough into the oil. Try to make the dough round as you slide it off the spoon.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Fry the Keke on one side until browned, turn and brown on the opposite side. </li>
<li>Remove browned Keke and drain on Paper towels.</li>
<li> Allow the Keke to cool.</li>
<li> Once it has cooled, eat it and enjoy!</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Suggested toppings: Roll and dust powdered sugar on the Keke. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
**If you are using the hand drop method, keep water nearby<br />
and dip your hand in water before grabbing the dough.<br />
It makes it easier to use the hand drop method. </div>

(Tahitian fruit pudding)<br />
<br />
Po'e (POH-eh) is a popular fruit pudding found at all traditional Tahitian tamara'a barbeques. Originally the pudding was wrapped in banana leaves and baked in the fire pit. This simple baked version is easier in the modern kitchen.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4 to 6 servings<br />
<br />
* Ripe bananas, peeled and cut into chunks -- 6-8 Bananas<br />
* Brown sugar -- 1/2 cup<br />
* Arrowroot or cornstarch -- 1 cup<br />
* Vanilla -- 2 teaspoons<br />
* Coconut cream -- 1 cup<br />
<br />
Method<br />
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Puree the bananas in a blender or food processor. There should be enough puree to make 4 cups.<br />
2. Mix together the brown sugar and arrowroot or cornstarch. Add this mixture and the vanilla to the bananas and process well. There should not be any lumps of starch. Adjust sugar to taste.<br />
3. Butter a 2-quart baking dish and pour in the puree. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the pudding is firm and bubbling. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled.<br />
4. Cut into cubes and place into a large serving bowl or in individual bowls. Top with a dollop of coconut cream, a little more brown sugar and serve.**<br />
<br />
Variations-<br />
<br />
**Boil and Cook the Bananas on the stove until the fruit turns brown. Add in remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Butter a 2-quart baking dish and pour in mixture. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the pudding is firm and bubbling. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled.<br />
<br />
* Try substituting papaya, mango, pineapple, canned Pumpkin or other tropical fruits for some of the bananas. Just make sure there is a total of 4 cups of fruit puree. Ripe plantains can also be substituted for the bananas. For juicier fruits, you will probably have to add more arrowroot or cornstarch.<br />
* Try wrapping the pudding in buttered banana leaves and baking it for a more original presentation.<br />
<br />
*If you use a fruit that produces more liquid, try adding a 1/4 cup extra cornstarch.<br />
<br />
<br />
Notes<br />
<br />
* Coconut cream is the thick coconut milk that rises to the top of a can of coconut milk. Don't shake the can before you open it and you can skim it right off the top.<br />
<br />
**TIP-<br />
<br />
You can find almost any ingredient for Polynesian Recipes at Asian Markets and sometimes Mexican Markets.<br />

<br />
Ingredients<br />
Choux:<br />
<br />
1 C Water<br />
1 Block (4 oz.) butter<br />
1 C Flour<br />
4 Large eggs<br />
<br />
Filling:<br />
<br />
2 packets Dream Whip Frosting<br />
2 small boxes instant chocolate pudding<br />
2 3/4 C COLD milk<br />
Chantilly Frosting:<br />
<br />
1-13 oz can evaporated milk<br />
11/2 C Sugar<br />
3/4 C Butter<br />
4 large Egg yolks<br />
11/2 tsp Vanilla extract<br />
1/4 C chopped, toasted pecans<br />
<br />
Cooking Instructions<br />
<br />
For Choux:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Boil water and block of butter. Remove from heat, dump in flour. Stir until ball of dough forms and pulls away form the sides of saucepan. Mix in eggs one at a time, beat for 1 minute before adding the next. Scoop onto foiled cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes then lower heat to 325 degrees for 30-35 min. (Puffs should look dry. They should peel off the foil and tip over when nudged gently with a wooden spoon.) Cool and cut off tops with a serrated knife. Fill, put back tops, and sprinkle w/10x sugar, or frost with chantilly frosting.<br />
<br />
* To fill without cutting off the tops, spoon filling into a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Poke the tip trough the choux puff and squeeze the bag to fill the puff.<br />
<br />
For Filling:<br />
<br />
Combine all ingredients and beat with an electric mixer for 6-7 minutes on highest speed.<br />
<br />
Chantilly Frosting:<br />
<br />
Combine milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks and vanilla. Cook stirring constantly, over medium heat for 12 minutes, until mixture thickens. Add vanilla extract. Chill 1 hour covered with a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface for proper spreading consistency. <br />
