A MINI STIR FRY WOK LUAU
With the wok nicely heated up, they ingredients already chopped up and ready to go into the wok, it was a nice afternoon for a cook-out. Two grilled lines up along the side of the wok, the boys were cooking for the girls today. It’s going to be Hawaiian food recipe tonight.
It all started a few days ago when I told my sweetie not to plan anything for tonight, I was going to take her to a sunset set dinner, on the backyard deck.
To say the least, she loved the idea of my little cook-out. After all of her giddy excitement and calming down a bit, she was all smiles. This is where things got out of hand.
From a just a little cook-out for the two of us, a simple little dinner that would quick and easy to do on a wok, she talked me into inviting a few friends. After scoring my points with the cook-out idea how could I say no, even thought I knew what she meant by “just a few friends”
It took a few last minute calls to adjust the plan. Help was definitely going to be needed, lucky there were two of the boys that I could depend on in situations like this. Even that just added to the list of people for that night.
I had to take a bit of teasing after explaining how my planned dinner for two turned into a mini luau; they both know that my sweetie can’t do things in a small way.
While standing at the wok, the ingredients are all chopped and ready to go, it’s a beautiful sunset, Hawaiian music is playing, the girls are anxiously waiting for the boys to start cooking, and it is a wonderful day! Let our luau begin. It’s Hawaiian food recipe tonight.

If there ever was a dish that brought the taste of the clear blue Pacific waters to your mouth, it’s would be poke. Take the freshest fish straight from the ocean and add a bit of the sweet Maui onion, chop a little bit of green onion, just bit of the purest sea salt from beds of dried sea water, a small handful of crunchy limu (seaweed), a tablespoon or so of both shoyu and sesame seed oil , for added seasoning and you’ll have a Hawaiian food recipe that has a taste so fresh you’ll remember it forever. “Broke the mouth”, as the people of Hawaii says when they are talking about a food dish that very delicious.
