This is a simple meal that can be prepared very quickly. The only different is it has an Asian twist to the dish with the addition of soy. I calculated for 6 people but this is very small meat servings of about 2 oz each. This is why this has been a popular meal in Hawaii because much of the food must be shipped in.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 can corned beef
Medium head cabbage
1 small onion chopped
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons soy
salt to taste
Heat the pan with oil and saute the corned beef, onion and cabbage until the cabbage is firm but not soggy. Add the other ingredients and cook until heat through.
Cost:
Corned beef 2.62
Cabbage 2.01
Total: 4.63
Price for 6 = .77 USD per person

Maui -Style Mahi Mahi & Hawaiian Corn Bread
This evening I had some Mahi Mahi that I had purchased at the market early this week. I do not normally buy this fish but when I saw it in the frozen food section it evoked memories of living in Hawaii so I decided to get some fillets. It is a rather popular fish in that area and Mahi Mahi can be found in other tropical areas such as Florida where it is called other names. It has a sweet flesh flavor and firm flesh ideal for a variety of dishes including grilling.
The first place I lived on Hawaii was next to the airport and so using the lanai was out of the question between the flumes and noise. Later we moved farther so we could enjoy the outside lanai and have BBQ s and activities. It was refreshing to sit out when they had a summer rain because the temperature would cool. I was wishing I had my lanai here in Kansas but it just would not be the same anyways I suppose.
This evening I made Maui-style Mahi Mahi. Maui is another beautiful island in the Hawaii Island chain. I also prepared Hawaiian Corn Bread and a simple tossed salad. Just about any of the recipes I have in my Hawaiian recipe section will go with this dish. This corn bread is more cake like and sweeter than normal main land corn bread. I prepared ½ of the following recipe but nest time will prepare the whole amount because I think it will come out better.. Be careful when cutting and serving to avoid it crumpling on you.
Maui-Style Mahi Mahi and Hawaiian Corn Bread
4 mahi mahi fillets

THE LUAU
The luau is a feast of Hawaiian food. The traditional Luaus were major events to celebrate visiting dignitaries or for weddings. Now most of the major hotels feature luaus. The traditional feast would usually go on for days and have lots of food! Now luaus more of an evening event but they still have them for weddings or other events.
When you organize a luau you can go more traditional or have a party with fun things and tacky things such as plastic hula girls. The music can be traditional or you can go beach party mode.
Just make sure if you plan a party that you read the recipes before. Some of the recipes require advance preparation.
Because Hawaii is such a mixture of cultures you can have all types of food at a luaus. The migration of workers for the cane and pineapple field brought in families from Japan, Philippines and China. The recipes below include Chicken adobe (Philippines) and meatballs from Asia. Some of the other recipes are a mixture of culture. Macaroni Salad which is very popular in Hawaii most likely came form Europeans or Americans from the mainland.
I suggest depending on amount of guests:
1 or 2 drinks
2 to 3 pupus
2 to 3 main dishes
2 to 3 sides
1 to 2 breads
1 or 2 desserts.

HAWAIIAN SWEET POTATOES & Ono Sweet Potatoes & Aloha Sweet Potatoes
Hawaiina Sweet Potaotes are also called Okinawan sweet potatos. These potatos can be steamed, baked or microwaved and then mashed, sliced or cubed. They are brown on the outside and purple inside but will trun brown after a short period of time so you want to serve right after cooking.
To Steam: Poke a few holes with a fork or tip of a knife in a washed Hawaiian sweet potato, or cut a strip off all the way around. Steam 30-45 minutes until tender. You may want to cut into chunks to speed up cooking time.
To Bake: Poke holes, then bake in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes to an hour or until it tests soft when pierced with a fork. Scoop the soft meat out of the skin.
To Microwave: Cut in half lengthwise, peeling is optional. Put the cut side down in 1/2 to 1 inch of water microwave on high for 5-7 minutes.
Since real Hawwiian sweets potatoes are not that comm theses tow recip[es use regular sweet potatoes in a casserole recipe. The first recipe below uses canned sweet potaotes and bananas. The second one is sweet potaots and coconuts. Very different but very good. Ono is Hawaiian for delicious.

Lomi Lomi in the Hawaiian language means “massage,” which refers to the way the ingredients are combined or massaged to create a wonderful cold salad.
Ingredients:
1 Pound salt salmon
4 Tomatoes peeled and diced
1 Medium Maui Onion chopped (mild white onion)
Green Onions for garnish
Directions:
Soak the Salt Salmon in water to help remove the skin and excess salt (If you cannot find salt salmon you may substitute canned salmon and rub in a small amount of Hawaiian Salt or Kosher Salt). Shred the Salmon with your hands. Combine shredded salmon, onions and tomatoes in large bowl and massage until thoroughly mixed. At this point you may choose to add some crushed ice to aid in chilling. Serve chilled.

Oven Kalua Pig
Oven Kalua Pig
The traditionally cooked Kalua Pig is done in pit with lava rocks. Kalua Pig is the cornerstone of many Hawaiian celebrations. This recipe will allow you to create this delicacy without digging up the yard and trying to find the ti leaves, whole pig and all the work involved in making a pit. The hawaiians would also sometimes put fish and other meats in the pit. You can use this recipe to make Kalua beef and other meats.
Ingredients:
1 medium large pork butt (around 8 lbs.)
¼ Cup Hawaii salt or Kosher Salt
2 Cups water
1-Tablespoon Liquid Smoke
Directions:
Cut a few half-inch incisions into the pork. Place pork butt in large roasting pan. Rub in salt and liquid smoke. Pour water into pan. Roast in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for over 8 hours.
Kalua pork is usually shredded and may be served with poi or rice.

Pineapple Boat
I suggest if you use bananas to sprinkle some lemon juice or use a product that prevents browning and toss before adding to keep the slice looking fresh. You can add or take out any fruit except the pineapple that you do not like or cannot purchase. Make sure you use ripe pineapple to make a great salad.
1 ripe Pineapple
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Strawberries
Bananas
Seedless Grapes
Oranges
Apples
Kiwis
Shredded coconut
Prepare pineapple boat by cutting pineapple in half, lengthwise, leaving the crown attached. Cut close to the shell with a curved knife or thin, sharp knife. Remove the fruit. Cut out the center core. Cut the pineapple and other fruit into bite-size cubes or melons into balls. Mix all the ingredients together and serve in the shell. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top.
