Hi we have a luau party every year, in fact we just got back from a luau camping trip. Below are some recipes that I use, you will find drinks sides and main dishes. Sorry it is a little long but, most of them are VERY cheap!!!!!
Beef or Chicken Teriyaki:
3 lb. sliced beef <
1/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (1/2 inch) piece ginger root, crushed
Soak your skewers in water,
so that they will not burn on the barbecue.
Then place your beef or chicken in a bowl.
Combine sugar, soy sauce, garlic and ginger, marinate beef or chicken,

Broil over hot coals for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Enjoy!!

Chicken and Long Rice
Ingredients:
1 small Chicken
3 pkgs Long rice (vermicilli)
Parsley, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. *
1 Green onion or small round onion1 1/2 qts Canned tomatoes
Add water accordingly
Shoyu to taste
Cooking Instructions:
Cut chicken into pieces, rinse and let chicken drain. Soak long rice for one hour in warm water, drain in colander. Brown chicken (oil pot slightly), sprinkle parsley, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper on chicken while frying; about 20 minutes. Add green onion or round onion. Simmer chicken for one hour. Add tomatoes and long rice; heat throughly. If liquid is needed to keep long rice from scorching, use as much water as needed. Serve over hot white rice with a little shoyu.

Pancake Mix
Bananas
Cooking Instructions:
Peel and slice bananas lengthwise. Make your basic pancake batter. Dip bananas in batter and fry like you would pancakes.
Spam Kebobs - Makes 32
3 cans Spam
2 20-oz cans pineapple chunks, drained (use liquid in your rum punch, if making)
32 wooden skewers
water
Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes (I fill a big cup or a vase with water, and stand the skewers in it, point side UP... it's the uncovered-by-food tail sections that really need protection from burning).
Cut each loaf of Spam into 32 small chunks (halve it, then cut each half into 4 strips, and each strip into 4 cubes... you can do it w/ just 5 cuts per loaf).
For each skewer, thread on Spam, pineapple, Spam, pineapple, Spam, pineapple. The chunks should touch, but not be CRAMMED together. Put on a plate (or handy disposable lasagne pan), and repeat w/ the rest of the skewers. Cover and hold in the fridge until it's grill time.
Grill over high heat until you get beautiful caramelized marks on yer Spam. You're not at risk of undercooking... it's SPAM... but you want it to look pretty.
Mmmm, tasty!
