I think most of us have grown up eating pop tarts and this is a recipe using Hawaiian guava jam which my kids absolutely love!  Its also a fun recipe that the kids enjoy making in the kitchen.


Prep Time: 30 | Cook Time: 20-25 | Ready In: 60+

Ingredients:

Pastry:
  • 2 cups (8 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 8 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into pats
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) milk
  • 1 additional large egg (to brush on pastry)
Guava Jam Filling:
  • 3/4 cup guava jam
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water
Glaze:
  • 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • candy sprinkles (optional)
Cooking Process:

Guava jam filling:

Mix the guava jam with the cornstarch/water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and set aside to cool. Use to fill the pastry tarts.

Dough:

Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Work in the butter with your fingers, pastry blender or food processor until pea-sized lumps of butter are still visible, and the mixture holds together when you squeeze it. If you’ve used a food processor, transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Whisk the first egg and milk together and stir them into the dough, mixing just until everything is cohesive, kneading briefly on a well-floured counter if necessary.

Divide the dough in half (approximately 8 1/4 ounces each), shape each half into a smooth rectangle, about 3×5 inches. You can roll this out immediately  or wrap each half in plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Assembly:

If the dough has been chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to soften and become workable, about 15 to 30 minutes. Place one piece on a lightly floured work surface, and roll it into a rectangle about 1/8" thick, large enough that you can trim it to an even 9" x 12". [You can use a 9" x 13" pan, laid on top, as guidance.] Repeat with the second piece of dough. Set trimmings aside. Cut each piece of dough into thirds – you’ll form nine 3" x 4" rectangles.

Beat the additional egg and brush it over the entire surface of the first dough. This will be the “inside” of the tart; the egg is to help glue the lid on. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of each rectangle, keeping a bare 1/2-inch perimeter around it. Place a second rectangle of dough atop the first, using your fingertips to press firmly around the pocket of filling, sealing the dough well on all sides. Press the tines of a fork all around the edge of the rectangle. Repeat with remaining tarts.

Gently place the tarts on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick the top of each tart multiple times with a fork; you want to make sure steam can escape, or the tarts will become billowy pillows rather than flat toaster pastries. Refrigerate the tarts (they don’t need to be covered) for 30 minutes, while you preheat your oven to 350°F.

Remove the tarts from the fridge, and bake them for 20 to 25 minutes, until they’re a light golden brown. Cool in pan on rack.

Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar, corn syrup and milk. On a piece of parchment paper test the glaze by spreading it with a rubber spatula. If it is not smooth, add a touch more milk. Spread the pop tarts with the glaze and top with sprinkles.

When I invited Gordon Lum to do an episode on our Cooking Hawaiian Style TV show, I asked him what his most popular dish is. He said that “hands-down, Hawaiian Style chicken panang” was his most popular dish. Whenever he made it for pot lucks or one of Popo June Tong’s foodie group gatherings, that people would rave about this dish. What makes this dish so special? Macadamia Nuts! This dish is perfect in every way…perfectly spiced, balanced and it has that something extra special which is attributed to the use of macadamia nuts. This is a must try recipe!



Prep Time: 15 | Cook Time: 10-15 | Ready In: 25-30

Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs. boned chicken thighs
  • 2.5 tablespoons panang curry paste (2 oz Mae Ploy brand)
  • 19 ounces coconut milk (or 1 can Mae Ploy brand)
  • 3 tablespoons roughly ground Island Princess Hawaii macadamia nuts (unsalted)
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado or raw sugar
  • 3 finely diced Kaffir Lime leaves
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce to taste
  • 1 sliced bell pepper (any color)
  • 1 sliced onion
  • 1 cup flour (for dredging)
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • Hawaiian salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 4-5 Thai Basil leaves (optional)
Cooking Process:

Rinse then dry the boned chicken thighs. Lightly salt and pepper the thighs on both sides and then dredge in flour, shaking off the excess flour. Heat the Dutch oven and add oil. Sear both sides of thighs until it becomes a light golden brown (about 70% cooked). Set thighs aside. While they are cooling, slice the bell pepper/onion; finely dice the Kaffir Lime leaves, and roughly grind/chop the macadamia nuts. After the chicken thighs cool, cut into chunks.

Heat (about ¼ cup) the oil and add the curry paste, searing the paste for a minute. Add the chicken chunks and stir until the chunks are coated with the paste. Add the peppers and onion and stir until they are also coated. Add the coconut milk, Kaffir lime leaves, turbinado sugar, macadamia nut, and fish sauce to the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Garnish with basil leaves.

Kelly Boy & Leolani Delima of Kapena joined us on the island of Lanai for a special episode of Cooking Hawaiian Style making this Tongan dish call lu pulu to pay tribute to his Tongan brothers.  Lu pulu is made with taro or luau leaves, beef brisket and coconut milk.  This is one of my new favorite comfort dishes.

Prep Time: 15 | Cook Time: 5-8 hours in slow cooker | Ready In: 5-8 hours (slow cooker)


Ingredients:
  • 4 lbs. fresh beef brisket or corned beef brisket
  • 1 large sweet onion
  • 2 bags luau leaf
  • 2 - 12 ounce coconut milk
  • 3 ti leaves
Cooking Process:

In a slow cooker place the 3 ti leaves to cover the bottom and sides of slow cooker. Dice the large sweet onion and place in the slow cooker. Then, place fresh corned beef, cleaned luau leaves and coconut milk. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 5 hours or low for 10 hours.

Note: If you use corned beef brisket, I would recommend either doubling the amount of luau leaf and coconut milk or boil the corned beef brisket for 1 hour, empty water and add fresh water to avoid it being too salty.

This is a similar recipe to how I like making my basic lumpia. It's pretty much the same thing without the Kim chew and hot sauce. The long rice gives it a nice texture and makes it stand out over typical won ton style.

The long rice seems to work better with lumpia. You can make it your own creation by adding in pork belly, chopped teriyaki, bulgogi, Kalb etc. instead of ground pork. They would all work perfectly with this creation. I get a little lazy sometimes so I use the Cole slaw mix.

The dipping sauce can be a wide variety as well which makes this nice to. Best of all takes a little time to prepare and you can double batch and freeze for your next party or emergency appetizers.



Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Ready In: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 lbs. ground pork
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped kim chee, (drain and reserve juice)
  • 2 cups Cole slaw mix (or slice cabbage and carrots)
  • 2 cups bean sprouts, cut in half
  • 4 green onion, chopped
  • 2 bundles of long rice, cooked and cut in half
  • 4 shitake mushrooms, soaked and diced
Seasoning Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Aloha Aloha shoyu soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking Process:

Fry pork in a 2 tablespoons of oil, season with salt and pepper, drain excess fat. Add in chopped onion and fry for few minutes. Add in chopped kim chee and kim chee juice, fry few minutes(you may want to add more or less for intensity of heat or if you want super spicy add in kim chee base sauce at this point). When the pork soaks into the juices, add in shoyu sauce micture 1 tablespoon at a time. (Add according to your taste). Add in vegetables and shitake, fry for a few more minutes. Add in cooked long rice, add more sauce mixture to coat and stir fry. Roll mixture in lumpia wraps. Freeze or deep fry in vegetable oil

how to serve:
Optional Sauce
  • 3/4 cup. sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Aloha shoyu (soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon seasame oil
  • 2 chopped green onion
**tastes good as is, but use sauce as an optional condiment

We have been very fortunate to collaborate with the gang at AlohaCare Hawaii and their efforts and involvement with the community.  They have been promoting healthy and affordable eating which is very important with diabetes and obesity on the rise in Hawaii. They introduced us to Jesse Lipman who has been doing some amazing things with local ingredients and teaching the keiki how to use them in the kitchen. This dish that he cooked on the show has to be one of my favorite healthy recipes. If you haven't had the opportunity to try lentils or aren't sure if you would like it, try this recipe... I think you will be impressed!


Ingredients:
  • 1 kabocha squash, trimmed, seeded & cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 cups lentils, washed & drained
  • 1 large bunch kale
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 head garlic, chopped
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2-3 fingers of olena, chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 4 tablespoons butter*
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2-3 curry or sage leaves
*exclude butter for vegan

Cooking Process:


Heat a deep pan or medium stew pot over medium heat and add  1 olive oil and curry powder.  Sautee onion, then add olena, and garlic. Lightly salt and pepper to taste.  When onions and garlic start to brown, add lentils and stir until everything is mixed well, cook 2-3 minutes.  Add a little olive oil if pan gets dry.  Add 4 cups vegetable broth, cover pan, adjust heat to simmer.  While lentils cook start another sautee pan with butter and the curry or sage leaves and gently simmer. Butter can turn brown but should not burn.  As lentils begin to soften (about 10 minutes) add kabocha. Also, add the leftover vegetable broth if stew gets too thick.  Kabocha and lentils should soften together after 10-15 minutes of cooking. At this point taste for seasoning, add additional salt, pepper, curry powder if needed.  Add the kale and stir gently. Cook 2-3 minutes. Strain the herb butter into the stew pot and gently stir or drizzle a little of the butter on each serving bowl instead.

Add a tablespoon of oil and sear the beans and carrots. Add a pinch of Hawaiian salt and a dash of sesame seed oil. Saute for 2 minutes. Add the chicken back and mix for 1 minute.

Gordon Lum comes from the family that created Lum’s char siu sauce which is still sold worldwide in stores.  We met Gordon through Popo June Tong who was also a guest on our Cooking Hawaiian Style TV show.  Gordon’s spare ribs with black bean sauce is made the old, traditional way with lots of love.


Ingredients:

3.25 lbs. island spare ribs cut into bite sized pieces

Black Bean Sauce:
  • 4 Tbsp salted black beans
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 tsp oyster sauce
  • 4 tsp liquor (whiskey, sake, sherry, etc.)
  • 4 tsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp Hawaiian salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 4 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 stalk green onions
Cooking Process:

Rinse the spareribs to remove bone chips etc. then drain.  Rinse the salted black beans, hand squeeze to remove water and rough chop. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Thinly slice the green onions.  Combine the Black Bean Sauce ingredients into a bowl and mix.  Add the island spareribs to the bowl and mix. If possible, line or layer  the spareribs against the sides of the bowl. 

Add water to the steamer and heat. When the water boils, place the bowl of spareribs into the steamer and steam for 1 hour.  Remove the bowl from the steamer. Some of the steam will have collected in the bowl as a liquid. Stir and a gravy will develop. Serve with rice.

Tip:  “Island” spareribs are what you will normally find in Chinatown.  Ask the butcher to cut the spareribs with a bandsaw rather than chopping it with a cleaver; there will be less shattered bones to deal with. “Mainland” spareribs are what you would find at supermarkets, Costco or Sam’s Club and can also be used.
