A Taste of Hawaii

A Taste of Hawaii

Hawaii is often described as a cultural melting pot, and nowhere is this more evident than in the vast array of traditional and fusion food in Honolulu, where Annie and I have spent most of our lives. We visited Honolulu for two weeks in November 2011, and over those weeks, we revisited our old favorites and found some new ones, including a few food trucks. We also made sure to fill up on a things that are expensive or difficult to find in Seoul, yet plentiful in Hawaii (like sushi and pie).

김치불고기버거 (Kimchi Bulgogi Burger)

김치불고기버거 (Kimchi Bulgogi Burger)

This is more of a sandwich than a burger (although it is served on a hamburger bun), but as this recipe is actually our attempt to revive a menu item from a now long-gone restaurant in Hawaii, we thought it'd be nice to retain the original name as well. Bulgogi + kimchi may seem odd at first, but it sure tastes great!

Hawaiian-Style Slow-Roasted Pork (Kalua Pig)

Hawaiian-Style Slow-Roasted Pork (Kalua Pig)

In Hawaii, this dish is known as Kalua Pig. Kalua (not to be confused with Kahlua) is a traditional Hawaiian roasting technique, wherein food is buried in underground ovens and cooked for hours by smoldering wood. As the traditional method is not exactly practical here, we've found a different way that still produces tasty results. This dish is great by itself (or with cooked cabbage, the way we usually eat it), but also try mixing in some barbecue sauce to make pulled pork sandwiches and pizzas. Yum!
