WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR HAWAIIAN FOODS?
HAWAIIAN PLATE
The Hawaiian-style dish is very common in both native cultures and tourists, thanks to its versatility. It’s tasty and fills you up, and it’s remarkably cheap too. You’ll often see it in roadside stands and drive-in restaurants. There is one main ingredient that is included in every Hawaiian dish – protein – it comes in many forms, such as chicken and steak.
POKE
Poke means “to cut crossways into pieces” and that describes the look and feel of this delicious dish. When someone orders poke, he or she will choose to add dice of fatty fish, including tuna, salmon, or octopus, that are steamed, grilled, and served with other ingredients.
LUAU STEW
Luau Stew, a dish that is usually made from cooked luau plants, is similar to what it sounds like. These are leaves that are from a particular tree that grows in Hawaii, the taro plant. These are cooked with some rice and/or poi to give it a little extra flavour. Because only leaves can be used, many vegetarians enjoy making their own luau stew. Some stews aren’t completely vegan, as you’re likely to find plenty of meat and vegetables – even squid is a very common ingredient in luau stews.
