I have a whole healthy Hawaiian food cookbook at home, so I will look later today if you haven't found anything yet and I can post a recipe or two.

I make something like this recipe, minus the sherry, substitute gluten-free soy sauce. I also use real, crushed garlic, and honey instead of sugar... :

Ingredients

3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sherry
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 2 inch pieces
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
skewers

Marinate chicken pieces (overnight, in a plastic bag set in a bowl works well)
Soak skewers in water (if using wooden skewers)
Grill.

Alternatively, I'll pan saute the chicken in pieces instead.

In 1926, Hawaiian Electric Company started its Home Services Department, which demonstrated the benefits of electrical appliances by using them to prepare many traditional Hawaiian foods. Eventually, the cooking demonstrations turned into a TV cooking show and a weekly column in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin food section.

The Hawaiian Electric Company's recipe collection is now online here: http://www.heco.com/portal/site/heco/menuitem.ad8ed92a8bcc8b8c19138e11a0a38a0c

I make chicken kabobs w/fresh vegetables.

a basic marinade for a pork loin;
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 c. pineapple juice
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
(I would double this)

boneless pork loin is about 135 cals per 4 oz)
in separate dishes, marinate pineapple chunk (i'd suggest a can of rings for decorations, and chop all but 3 slices.)
bell pepper and onions just smaller than bite sized. roll out some tinfoil and place pork in the center. you'll probably need a bit more than you think.
put veggies around it saving about 3-4 rings for the top of the loin.
Fold up tinfoil until there is enough room to hold the pineapple on top. fold and secure. *do not use tooth picks to secure*
finish folding so that juices won't leak.
cook at 425 for about 35-45 minutes. I highly suggest a stove temp gauge for this. cook til 145. remove and let sit for just a few minutes. (use a meat thermometer, cutting into the pork is messy and lets out juice)
put on serving plate/platter and carefully unfold and cut into medallions. 4 oz was actually bigger than I expected. (about 3 fingers wide) serve with rice.

these two recipes are what most people in the states are used to. pineapple, bell peppers, pork and chicken. I suggest this website http://www.hawaiifoodtours.com/hawaiianfood.html for more key words when searching for the authentic stuff. With the kalua pork, you can use lean cuts of pork and still get similar results. I use these for my bbq pulled pork and it works just fine.

Bump for later...yummo!

I'm new to these forums, so I'm sure there are many things done here that I don't yet understand.

I've never seen anything like this before -- what is the purpose of bumping an active thread?
