Since we all appreciate good food and I know I love to eat food I figure I start a thread. Post pics or food tips of where to eat or what you cooked.
Tonites dinner:
Lasagna- bacon topped, extra sharp cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese, eggplant sliced extra thin instead Pfizer noodles, sauce of fresh herbs, tomatoes, sausage, wine and scotch bonnet peppers

Turkey ala king is great with the frozen leftover turkey
Only need some veggies, butter, flour, mushrooms, milk/cream
and peppercorns. Oh...salt and pepper.
Melt couple sticks of real butter in a pot and throw in about 1/2 bag of frozen veggies, about 1 Tbsp of peppercorns and a can of mushrooms n save the liquid.
Cook em for 5-6 minutes then throw in 1/2 cup of flour and stir til kinda smooth. Throw in 1t of salt, small kine pepper and ~1
Cup of milk or cream (I just used a can of condensed milk) and the mushroom liquid Lower the heat and keep stirring so no burn the cream sauce. Stir til smooth.
Throw in a bunch of shredded or chopped turkey or chicken leftovers. I put about 2-3 rice bowls full of turkey but can put more. Heat thru and pau.
Takes about 10-15 minutes to make. Super easy
-
I am pretty much turkeyed out. So it was time for something different.
I had a chance to work with Titus Chan many years ago and he made fried rice. He said, "Make an omelet first".
Then just add everything else. Breakfast this morning was fried rice made with leftover this n' that.
Eggs
turkey tail
char siu
shrimp
white and brown rice
celery
round onion
green onion
peas
Harm ha (shrimp paste)
oyster sauce
shoyu

Man that looks good! So you put everything in the eggs and then just add the rice after?

========================
Almost everything. If you have shrimp you need to add it at the correct time so it does not overcook and get rubbery.
Raw shrimp at the beginning of the omelet. Cooked shrimp at the end of the omelet. A techinque I use to color the rice is to save some raw egg mixture until after the rice is added. Then I make a hole, pour the egg in the hole and cover it with rice and press it down. Cover the pan on low heat and let the egg and rice get to know each other.
Then uncover and mix it up. Garnish with more green onions. dribble with more shoyu and/or oyster sauce for more flavor. I try not to add too much shoyu and oyster sauce in the mix to keep the salt level down. Gotta watch my blood pressure.
You have to remember that fried rice is a traditional way to take leftover stuff and make it into something wonderful that your family will enjoy. So ingredients will change depending on what is left in the fridge. Technique needs to be flexible to account for different types of ingredients. Some ingredients I have used in the past:
Kentucky fried chicken
Popeyes fried chicken
Costco rotis. chicken
frozen mixed veg.
teri beef
kalua pig
hot dog
portugese sausage
bratwurst
spam
bologna
turkey
bacon
bbq ribs
...use just about anything...waste nothing. See what is left in your fridge, and good luck to you.

Nephew caught a nice kumu on Sunday. I steamed it chinese style with green onion, ginger, chinese parsley, shoyu, peanut oil, salt.
Tough to beat fresh local fish.

Awesome, thanks. My dad used to make the best fried rice when i was little, I'm a pretty good cook but mine never comes out as good as his. I'll try your method. :shaka:

I hope you are not allergic to shrimp sauce aka "harm ha". That seems to be the magic ingredient that gave my Mom's fried rice that special taste.
For the uninitiated, this is the stuff that makes giant blue-eyed flies bang up against your window screen. Potent stuff.

Felt like something breakfasty for dinner tonight.
Egg with sprinkles of basil and oregano and a slice of american cheese.
Hiding under it are thin slices of Kielbasa, precooked about halfway before pouring egg over it. Each bite a surprise.
Nuke 6 minutes or until cheese starts getting browned.

==========================
The McRib is a product of "restructured meat technology."
Rene Arend came up with the idea and design of the McRib, but it's a professor from the University of Nebraska named Richard Mandigo who developed the "restructured meat product" that the McRib is actually made of.
According to an article from Chicago magazine, which cites a 1995 article by Mandigo, "restructured meat product" contains a mixture of tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, which is then mixed with salt and water to extract proteins from the muscle. The proteins bind all the pork trimmings together so that it can be re-molded into any specific shape — in this case, a fake slab of ribs.

Ah, yes, and segmented musclature of dead cows glued together with meat glue to form a nice-looking steak...
Yum!
As I always say, "Protein is protein."

Brined for 12 hours
Seasoned with Rosemary, Thyme, Dried Sage, Salt, Garlic, pepper, parsley, bay leaves.
Garlic, onion, and rosemary pressed in
Salt pork and butter slid under the skin to keep it moist.
I filled the inside with carrots, onions, and celery. The veggies came out delicious, nice and crunchy.
Amazing results for my first try.

I LIKE those big chunks of garlic in the bird! Making my stomach grumble... :love: Hungry hungry! ;D
-
That bird reminds me of something I do, which is take a mess of chicken thighs, slice them open a little bit parallel to the bone, and insert half a slice of hard salami in there. The skin will usually stay closed around the cut if you pinch it together.
Broil, bake, barbie, or bombard with 12cm radio waves to taste. I call it "Pollo Terrycado."
No pics, so I can't tempt you to try it by visual aids.
But if you can't trust me, whom can you trust, eh?

Due to a recent bout with high blood pressure. I need to find restaurants that have low salt foods. It sucks
Doctor told me I'm a walking time bomb right now. But it sucks you can't just walk into any restaurant and order up something with no salt
They all look at you funny. And some of the healthy places have a lot of salt in the food. I'm too busy to prepare my own
Meals. Any suggestions?
Stuck in the doctors office now as I type this. Arrggghhh.

In other news, Here was dinner last night. I call it "Fili Cheese Steak"
It's a basic Philly Cheese steak recipe except I pile the meat-cheese-veggie mixture on a Filipino pan-de-sal.
Hence the "Fili Cheese Steak". I favor the extra large pan-de-sal from Valerios in Waipahu, but they ran out of the large ones so I settled for the little ones.

A few months ago I got some kalo keiki from Teammidori and my son created a little patch in the yard.
The kalo is growing like crazy. Since then I have harvested leaves to make lau lau.
Yesterday I harvested more leaves and made beef luau stew. It was wonderful.
I have a seriously brown thumb so it is cool to make a great meal from stuff that grew in my yard.

Take care, Dex. A friend of mine got the same warning from his doc. At age 40+, they call that condition "widow makers".
There's 2 things you have to do at this point...
1. eat healthier
2. exercise
The meds do help a bit but they are not long term and can get expensive.
My friend ended up eating lots of healthier food alternatives and doing some kind of exercise everyday but he ended up losing lots of weight and looks good now. Let me ask if he has any food and restaurant recommendations.

I never thought of doing that. Then again my uncle up in Washington makes duck katsu with the birds he takes. He wraps the breast in plastic wrap and flattens it out with a meat tenderizer. Breads it with egg wash, flour, and panko then fries to crispy golden goodness. Now I'm ono for katsu. :shake:

I do Opah lazy style, but the wife loves it this way:
Tablespoon of butter or a bit more, 'bout same olive oil. Heat up to around medium (guess) or a bit less and I toss in some diced garlic. When lazy (usually) just use dried diced garlic, and let it steep in the butter a while. Do not go too hot, been there, regretted it, overcooks the fish surface before the inside is done.
Season the fish first both sides with garlic salt (yeah, we like garlic) and pepper first. Added smoked paprika a few times for variety.
Ease it into the pan. If less than an inch thick, about three minutes on each side. You can see the fish cook.
After about two minutes on the the second side, I kill the heat, toss in a tablespoon or so of white wine and cover it for another couple minutes and let it steam while the wife farts around with the rest of the dinner.
Works well most all the time. I know my stove settings, so that is up to you and your equipment. Thick stuff like what I just did tonight from Costco that was about 1.5" a went up to five minutes per side and was told it was perfect.
Opah does not have a lot of inherent flavor like Ono so it can be killed with too much spice. This was trial and error for me, so YMMV. The wife's killer tarter sauce works perfectly with this simple saute.

After washing the he'e with salt and rinsing to reduce slime, I like to freeze it for a couple days if possible. Seems more tender that way.
Then I thaw, mix with Haw'n pepper's, Garlic, Ginger, honey and just a touch of shoyu.
Pour 1 can of lager, ale or dark beer (Longboard works nice) into a pressure cooker.
Place sea chameleon inside on top of a grate above beer.
Bring to pressure with diddler rocking slowly for 15-20 minutes, depending on size.
Let cooker cool on it's own accord.
Now it's ready for Poki, smoking or as is.
Tenderest 8 legged beasty ever ! :thumbsup:

Everything is better deep fried!
Clean the beast, then cut into bite size pieces.
Prepare an egg wash and a 30% cornstarch and 70% flour + salt and pepper [ garlic salt is good too] coating mix in a plastic bag.
Run the pieces through the egg wash, dump into the bag and shake.
Pull the pieces out and drop them into deep pan of 300 degree oil, when they're golden brown and float, they're ready!
Excellent beer pupu's.

Couple of these are for poke, and the rest go in the lomi bowl, which is my favorite over using salmon.

For Chinese sauces, just add cornstarch and water mix to whatever you are making as a thickener. Use different combinations of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Make sure you have garlic and ginger and green onions. Experiment and taste a whole bunch :thumbsup:

There is a new place in Waipahu that has deep fried manapuas in MANY different flavors.
They also have a pattys style chinese food counter.
The manapuas are "different" and inexpensive. Some better than others.
The chinese food is high quality but not as heavily flavored as some other places, which could be good or bad, depending on your health.
When I went there it was crowded which says something.
All of the food is meticulously prepared and the operation is clean.
I heard the owner used to be an executive chef.
I'm trying to get Hagi to do a cheap eats there.

As I said, the chinese food is not as heavily seasoned as most other places.
The deep fried manapua comes in so many flavors you have to keep going back to try them all.
They also make desert type deep fried manapua with sweeter fillings like cream cheese coconut or cream cheese oreo filling.
They also have a variation that has an almond cookie baked right on top of the bun.
Of course, the deep fried manapua is definitely best when eaten immediately.

We used to go there by the Hicks Homes model on Beretania, always crowded. Used to go to Diners and get their full size teri-burgers like 2 for $1 when I was 2nd shift in the 80's. Bought 4, 2 for lunch before work and 2 for 2nd shift lunch at 1830.
Another favorite was the curry stew at Poi Bowl at Ala Moana mall. Remember once I told the girl I didn't like carrots so she gave me more beef portions, then tried this with another girl and she just with held the carrots with nothing extra, LOL.

ok then. Fast forward to 2017
SInce I live out Waipahu side, the best garlic chicken plate I found is LocoMoco by Walmart Royal Kunia.
In town by my work, Sugoi"s garlic chicken is famous.
The best Chicken katsu plate out Waipahu side is at L&L upstairs from Times Supermarket (about 100 yds from the Royal Kunia Walmart)
It's the sauce. Little bit different.

I get the Teri Pork plate from the Mililani LocoMoco and get the garlic chix plate form my wife. As the say in the old days, broke the mouth. :shaka:
And when I go to X-ring or in the Waipahu area, I stop off at Leeward Drive Inn and get the Leeward Special, teri pork open face sandwich, fresh cut fries, and mac salad with a large green river. Too bad they stop making pies.

We just got a pressure cooker for Christmas. It's amazing. I'll post some pictures

I like the Mochiko Chicken Plate at LocoMoco. Occasionally I order the Teri Beef Plate. I go to the Kapolei LocoMoco. I can't believe how good the food is and how much you get and for the price.
Sometimes my wife and I stop at the Leeward Drive Inn for breakfast. If we are up early we'll drive all the out to Waiakamilo and eat at the Original Pancake House.

Oh oh
You just mentioned pressure cooker on a conservative gun forum.
Alarm bells are ringing at Homeland Security.
....
I do have a pressure cooker myself. Used it fo make stew faster.
The downside is that the fast cooking doesn't allow the herbs and spices the time to release their flavor.
Sure, the meat comes out soft, but not the same flavor as normal stew.

This wasn't tonight but one of the things I made recently that I was pretty happy with was lau lau casserole. Basically layers of luau leaf, then the pork then more luau leaf. Bake low and slow for a few hours. Much simpler than making individual lau lau.

Hmmm. Good idea. I might try that.
If I try it, I would layer some ti leaves then luau leaves.
Also add a little liquid smoke with the Hawaiian salt to impart a little imu flavor.

The bottom leaves did get a little on the oily side which people might not like but it was super tasty. I did notice that the top layer or two of leaves got dry. Still edible but the texture was a little papery. A layer of ti leaves on the top might prevent this.
After I cube the pork I toss it with garlic, rock salt, coconut oil and some liquid smoke. I just bought a large bag of lau lau leaves too and some pork butt so I will be making it again soon.

I made a crepe cake that I had seen in bakeries. Basically just layers of crepes, whipped cream, and fruit so essentially simple to make.
I will also occasionally dye the rice colors to irritate my wife. Kids love it.
I make quiche sometimes too. Relatively easy if you use a pre-made pie shell.

Will be making a LARGE pot of lau lau this week maybe I'll give that a try. Might add some coconut milk to take care of those top and bottom leaves.

the proposal is "farm-to-school", where all food served at the schools will be local

That's exactly what I thought. The locàl beef rep admitted the infrastructure did not exist.
So basically the locàl beef industry was hoping for a state handout to build processing facilities.

It has a lot more to do with regulation and food safety, which has got even more intense thanks to Obama administration allowing the FDA to overstep USDA and tell farmers how to do their job. Farmers and ranchers would love to fill a school contract, but there's so much red tape to wade through that only the big industrial sized companies can afford compliance. Funny how that works.

yeah, that's what I was talking about
sorry i wasn't specific
the logistics and costs to scale up to produce that much food safely in large enough quantities to supply the whole school system reliably throughout the year
so it's a pipe dream, and only big ag can supply the schools

When I lived BI we would get local grown grass fed beef and it definately has a different taste. Much better IMHO. Also, Honolulu Burger Co used to have grass fed beef from BI and you can taste the difference.
Not sure if this is similar to what we used to get on the BI but if it is you will be able to tell.
-
Locally grown beef is the best. There is defiantly a different taste. I prefer it and it's the only kind of beef we eat.

Reminds me of eating at Jackie Rey's in Kona, watching a local fisherman pull up in his pickup with cooler. Chef comes out, checks the big Mahi-mahi the fisherman pulls out of his cooler.
Deal is struck and the fish goes into the kitchen. Cannot get more fresh than that, one of my most favorite things about living Hawaii.
A California food inspecktor would have a stroke. imagine, cutting out all the government control?

The beef that I tried was Kunoa Cattle top sirloin steak.
It was different. Bloodier than mainland beef. Very lean.
The flavor was slightly gamey and not unexpected.
Texture was denser and took longer to cook.
Now I'm curious about the other local brands.

BEEF (and other) JERKY!
One of my favorite snack foods.
I like the new style crispy beef jerky, but it's kind of expensive.
Other favorites are the costco beef steak jerky and Turkey jerky.
The Korean style PORK jerky is excellent.
Yesterday I tried these new items from costco.
The fake beef jerky is better than I expected. It seems chewier than expected.
The grass fed jerky is not bad.

My opinion...
I ate 2 already.
It's sweet and then there is a chewy stuff that you can feel but cannot see.
I gave some to 808HUNTA today. I think he not going be my friend anymore.
I think it's supposed to be a snack to be eaten with hot tea...like a scone.
I'll try it with some Earl Gray tomorrow before heading out to KHSC.

Anyway they sell a.fried chicken sandwich which is a pretty good bang for the buck. Their other stuff is good but I think kind of on the expensive side.
Oh nevermind I found the place. Its called Fat cheeks.

Smoked goat with an icy cold locally-made IPA.
-
I think goat falls in the food category where it's an acquired taste, as with many ethnic foods.
My first encounter eating goat was not as pleasant as I thought it was going to be. The dish looked really good and I don't re-call any particular unpleasant smell, but the taste was gamey, something I'm pretty sure I could get used to, but that was my first impression.
My filipino co-worker who offered me the food told me to stop if I didn't like it, but I continued to eat it, out of respect for food and my co-worker.
I always thought goat was primarily something filipinos eat but I was surprised that goat is very popular in certain areas of the U.S. They have BBQ tournaments and Festivals where they feature different goat dishes.
