Best Tangy Hawaiian Rice Recipes

PINEAPPLE RICE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine water, pineapple, sugar, butter, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in rice and bring back to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, partially covered for 15 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed. The rice will be almost done with a slight bite to it.
• Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice steam another 5 minutes, covered. Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro. (I love cilantro so I usually go heavy but you can add as much as you like).

CRISPY HAWAIIAN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham, barbecue spice and scallion whites. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium. Toss the rice with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl. Add to the skillet and quickly stir so the ham and scallions get evenly distributed in the rice. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes so the bottom gets crispy.
• Combine the hoisin, soy, chile sauce and ginger in a small bowl and whisk together. Add the sauce to the skillet along with the peas and pineapple. Stir gently to combine, retaining the crispy bottom. Serve immediately topped with the fried egg, french-fried onions, sesame seeds and scallion greens.

CHICKEN SPICY HAWAIIAN TERIYAKI RICE BOWL

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the prepared vegetables and saute until crisp-tender, a couple minutes. Season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, serve up a large scoop of Rumbi rice, a scoop of hot vegetables, a scoop of grilled chicken cubes, and a heavy drizzle of Spicy Hawaiian Teriyaki sauce.
• To make the rice: Combine the water, coconut milk, and sugar in a large saucepan. Stir in rice and beans. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.
• To make the Spicy Hawaiian Teriyaki Sauce: Combine the bottled teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, Sriracha, ginger, salt and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Combine cornstarch and water and SLOWLY add as needed for thickening (you may not need all of it.) It should be slightly syrupy; allow to simmer and thicken, about a minute. Serve warm over your rice bowls. (If you find that the sauce is too thick when it cools, just add a little more teriyaki sauce to it.).

HAWAIIAN RICE

Steps:

• 1. Pour syrup from the can into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil for approximately five minutes.
• 2. Lower heat and stir in brown sugar untill it disolves completely. Add ginger and soy and allow to sit on very low heat to keep warm.
• 3. On a grill place pinapple rings and cook for about four minutes on one side and one minute on the other side. ( you can broil them in the oven, but you should baste the rings with the sauce before broiling to help pinapple turn golden brown) place pinapple rings on top of rice, pour sauce over rice.
• I highly recommend adding grilled scallops or shrimp to this dish. enjoy.
