Huli huli chicken is delicious! I love huli huli chicken. FYI... Huli huli means to turn. So it is basically rotisserie chicken, best cooked on a kiawe wood fire.
Made a salmon themed meal yesterday. Today was a salad. So salmon iron Hanzo style. One big slab of salmon filet turned into four styles of salmon. Poke (marinated) both raw and seared, a simple lemon butter, and teriyaki. All on sushi rice. Poke Lemon butter Teriyaki Sorry for the blurry pictures.
Aha.. Kaiwe Trees... Aren't they the ones with the 3" thorns? Best to cut them down and cook with them!! That looks delicious BTW!!
Mahalo @Dunerunner. Yup, kiawe has thorns. And I love cooking with kiawe wood. You absolutely need a chainsaw for those bad boys.
It could be worse. Iron wood or locust will throw sparks while being chainsawed. Both will dull your chain very quickly.
All hard woods. Kiawe burns longer and hotter than ironwood and is better to cook with. I have never used locust. Kiawe for coals and mango for extra flavor is a nice combo for cooking. I just love kiawe, but not cutting it.
If I remember, missionaries planted Kiawe in the hopes that cattle would eat the seed pods. They didn't, but the trees flourished. One of those thorns got me on the beach just a little outside Lahina, went right through the sole of the thong and an inch into the heel of my foot. Nothing a little alcohol wouldn't cure though. Like stepping on a nail!! The rats loved those trees it seemed..... sorry for the thread drift...... Memories....
That's what you get for wearing a thong at the beach. My mind is forever scarred by the visual! Terminology is important here. Thongs are the cheeky things women wear to the beach or under clothes. What you are referring to are called, "Rubbah slippahs." Shudder... But then, I had long cactus needles poke through cowboy boots in the Arizona desert.
Wifee and monkey are sick. So I made a big pot of chicken soup with lots of ginger. The sky was on fire while I was cooking.
Dinner was ahi. I prepared it three different ways. Poke, seared poke, and with a seaweed crust. My view when I went out to pick onions.
