MALASADAS (A PUNAHOU RECIPE)
Malasadas are one of the all time favorite snacks at community functions and fund-raisers!. If you make this, you will rapidly become popular with all of your local friends!.

6 cups flour

Heat oil to 375 degrees and drop dough by teaspoon full into oil and cook until brown!. Shake in brown bag with sugar!. Best when hot!.
Note: If the malasadas have a tendency to come out with the center still doughy, turn the heat down on the oil which will allow them to cook longer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Lau lau (not that easy, though, but so delicious), poke (only if you like sashimi), Portuguese sausage!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Marinate chicken chunks in pineapple juice and teryaki sauce!. Thread them onto bamboo skewers (soak them in water first to prevent them from burning on the grill)!. Grill until done!. Grill some pineapple chunks on separate skewers!. They will cook faster than the chicken, so do them separately!. Take the leftover marinade and bring it to a boil in a saucepan!. Let it boil for 10-15 minutes until it reduces to a thick syrup!. This is your dipping sauce for the chicken!. It will be perfectly safe to eat (even though it was a marinade for raw chicken) as long as you boil it at least 10 minutes!. If you don't feel comfortable reusing the marinade, just boil some more pineapple juice and teryaki sauce until thick enough for a dipping sauce!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
