Hawai’i houses a wide mix of culinary influences that shape the food you find on the island today. The true Hawaiian cuisine refers specifically to the traditional food and ingredients of the local Hawaiians such as Poi, ‘Uala (sweet potatoes),’ Ulu (bread fruit) and Mai’a (Bananas), which have connections to the Hawaiian spirituality of the local Hawaii, land management and examination practices. With so many influences, which are enough for Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean and Filipino kitchens, the Hawai’i-inspired kitchen is large and delicious. Here are 15 Hawai’i-inspired recipes that may have been able to escape your recipe box so far.

Malasadas
“Aloha! Here in Hawaii, Malasadas are the only donuts we have!” says Allrecipes member Idaj. “They are sold and are very popular with donations. There are many Portuguese offspring on the islands. Loud!
Hawaiian bananas
“This is a goalkeeper! Very much and delicious! My family and friends love it,” says reviewer Coolyeast8024. “It’s also great for breakfast with cream cheese. People who say that they don’t like banana bread love that!”
The island style fried rice
“Don’t be intimidated by the spam and try out this recipe!” says Deginek. “I did that to combine my Hawaiian dinner and it was a hit !! My son -in -law devoured!”
Mango cake from Maui Girl
“This cake is one of the first things I do every year when mangoes fall off the tree,” says reviewer Rich Haney. “My family and friends are all looking forward to it, and my friends are more happy to provide me with mangoes from their trees … The taste is delicious, especially with really good mangoes directly from the tree.”
Shoyu chicken
“I ate a lot of shoyu chicken and I have the recipe in my head. But today when I wanted to teach my son, I found this recipe that fits my own mental recipe almost exactly,” says reviewer Maraluisa David. “After more than 25 years in Hawai’i it seems to be the closest to the closest to me that the Obachans taught me at the temples when I was a teenager. One thing, we don’t normally grill it, but cook it in the oven.”
Hawaiian pork -hast
“This is a great recipe! I was born and grew up in Hawaii and now lives in Las Vegas, my husband and I long for the comfort of home. These were easy and so ono,” says reviewer Mrsn. “Our local market had no round Wonton skins, so I used the square instead. And I used my rice cooker (with the steamer shame with the steam shell) to dampen it … they came out perfectly. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it is exactly like the one that we used to buy from our neighborhood manapua man.”
Hawaiian garlic shrimp
“Driving to the North Shore to the Garnelen trucks is one of the things I miss most alive in Honolulu,” says reviewer Jon Hennington. “This is by far the closest recipe that I have found exactly this taste. Perfect! Mussels or really doesn’t matter. On is authentic, but off is so much easier to eat and the flavors are almost identical. I can’t recommend it enough!”
Hawaiian hay houses
Quenton Dawson
“Rice with a creamy sauce, lots of vegetables and crispy noodles make this a quick and simple bust that are still great!” says Allrecipes member J.
Lilly Punt in the flowers
John Mitzewich
“This Kalua pork bracket in Hawaiian style is the one used by home chefs that are used as close as possible to cook the surface, which means Kalua” Chef John. “The pork wrapped in banana leaves is a really amazing taste.”
Ulu (bread fruit) pancakes
“If the ‘Ulu matures too quickly, this is a great recipe,” says reviewer Briana Rodrique. “My baby loves her and I can freeze her after doing. Can take a couple out at a time when I need her.”
Deconstructed Spam Musubi
“I was looking for Spam Musubi, but without a Musubi manufacturer/ribbon I improvised with this deconstructed version,” says Allrecipes member Gammaray. “I was told that this dish is required in all of our future potluck.”
Ahi Shoyu Poke

“Fast, simple and delicious!” says reviewer Eric. “The only variations of this recipe that I made was to use Hawaiian red salt instead of sea salt, to have the sesame oil difficult, and I added a small Sriracha.”
Crib
Kalbi ribs come from Korea, but this recipe from Allrecipes member Deenamae uses the Hawai’i-Art Teriyaki Marinade. “Excellent! I can’t wait to make her again. The only complaint was that I didn’t do enough,” says reviewer Lisa.
Late chicken
France C
“‘Huli Huli Chicken’ (turn, turn, turn) was invented by Ernest Morgado when he cooked Teriyaki Chicken for a group of farmers in 1955,” says Allrecipes member Mama Smith. “This has been a Hawaiian basic food with sticky rice since then. This is the version of Huli Huli Chicken. Use Aji Mirin (sweet rice wine) instead of sherry, if desired.”
Ono butter Mochi
“This is a great recipe for Mochi cake. My mother -in -law comes from Kauai, and that’s exactly like her,” says reviewer Parker. “It is easy to prepare, tastes inevitable and is great to bring Potluck or a bake sale!”
