The Hawaiian classic dish, Saimin, is seriously amazing but the storebought stuff can also be seriously salty. Here's my homemade version that's healthier than the original but just as Hawaiian as the original dish.
It's hard to mimic the smoky, flame-licked rotisserie chicken known as huli huli chicken you get in Hawaii but this recipe does a darn good job at getting close!
You may have noticed that I’m not that big of a tea person — I’m partial to coffee at any and all times. But spending a lot of time in Hawaii over the last few years has changed that.
