Oahu Healthy Diet & Lifestyle Study still needs more volunteers!

The UH Cancer Center’s Healthy Diet & Lifestyle Study 2 is looking for more adults (age 35-69) on Oahu, especially men. This study explores how changes in dietary habits, along with regular physical activity, can affect the amount of fat stored in the abdomen and reduce disease risk. To see if you're eligible and learn more, check out our website

Made lau lau for the first time since my grandmother died. I almost cried.

I’m very much white but my grandmother was born and raised on the islands, before they were even a state. I haven’t been able to make this lately without my heart breaking.

Side dishes

Hey Cousins, I’m hoping that some of you can suggest some side dishes for Kahlúa pork and cabbage. I make a decent Mac salad and spam mutsubi but I’m looking for other sides

Shoyu Ahi Poke

Hi,

I’m a big fan of Shoyu Ahi Poke and used to purchase it all the time. Recently, I decided to try making it at home.

I’ve noticed that many recipes recommend marinating the tuna for 30 minutes to an hour. However, when I let the tuna marinate for closer to an hour, it develops a creamy, almost slimy texture. Is this caused by the Shoyu breaking down the connective tissue? Or could it be a reaction between the onions and another ingredient?

I’m aiming for a nice dark texture, but I find the creaminess a bit off-putting. Any suggestions on how to avoid this or improve the result would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Where to buy real crab?

I do not like surimi and am looking for real crab for sushi rolls and other recipes. Not fancy crab legs, just lump crab. Any recommendations on a good source?

Korean pancake

I was born and raised in Hawaii and used to love the Korean pancake from yummys/tastys. They are a lot thicker than the traditional Korean pancake. I was hoping someone had a recipe for it or maybe someone worked there and might remember how it was made. I left Oahu in 2013 and miss it so much. I’d love too get that texture of Korean pancake again. Mahalo for any help!

Help naming dish

A friend of mine made a few dishes that I'm pretty sure are Hawaiian. I'm just not sure what they're called.

One was a rice dish with a red pepper sauce, tofu and either pineapple or mango.

The other was a pork dish with a glaze made of coke and pineapple.

Who thinks an El Pollo Loco would do here in Hawaii?

I think that Hawaii people would so love to have a fast food restaurant like this.
