HanaHotties Gourmet Poke: Poke is made with fresh sashimi, Ahi (tuna) is used in this poke. The Ahi can be substituted with Taco (octopus), Calimari (squid), mussels, clams, shrimps; well you get the idea.

Usually made with shoyu (soy sauce), onions, and other spices. Here is a simple HanaHotties way.

1 pound Fresh Ahi cubed 1/2 inch cubes

1 large ripe avocado also cubed same size as the Ahi

2 TBS shoyu (soy sauce) may need to add more depending on the size of the avocado and taste preference.

2 TBS balsamic vinegar

1 clove mashed garlic

4 TBS HanaHotties Mango Hot Sauce

1 TBS toasted sesame oil

juice from 1/2 lime or lemon

optional: paper thin sliced red onion 1/2 cup (tastier if you marinate the sliced red onions in balsamic vinegar, some sea salt and lime juice) exceptional! This can also be used in other dishes, in a salad, as a garnish, etc....

optional: sliced scallion, or sliced chives

Mix everything but the Ahi and the avocado in a large serving bowl. Then add the ahi and the avocado into the bowl, mix gently so the ahi and the avocado do not bust into pieces or mush up (kind of a folding action one uses in folding whip cream, if you know what I mean).

Enjoy! This could be rolled up with some rice into a sushi hand roll, or into a wrap with some of your favorite vegetable, or some fruit, yes fruit! Try it you will love it!

Guacamole HanaHotties style:

Very simple dish; take a ripe avocado off the tree (find a nice avocado in your super market, if you don't have an avocado tree).

Put one medium sized avocado in a bowl (skinned and pitted of course),

add 1TBS HanaHotties Mango hot sauce or more if you like hotter

add 1TBS sesame oil

add 1ts balsamic vinegar

add 1TBS soy sauce (more or less to taste based on the size of the avocado)

mix all the ingredients together to the texture you desire and dip away.

Make a healthy sandwich or a wrap just spread it on bread or wrap then add sliced tomatoes, lettuce (or green of your choice) some cheese, etc....let your imagination go wild!!!

HanaHotties Hot Wings: Simple and fast, its a party favorite.

5 lbs chicken wings,

5 oz. HanaHotties Hot Sauce any flavor you crave (mango, papaya, pineapple or lilikoi/guava) 1/4 lbs butter (if you decide to use the butter make sure that it is liquefied) or 2 TBS olive oil or 2 TBS coconut oil (butter and oils are optional, if you want to keep it on the "lighter" side leave this ingredient out)

1 ts salt or to taste

Deep fry or grill the chicken wings until it is fully cooked.

Put the HanaHotties Hot Sauce and the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl, mix and coat all the chicken wings.

Make sure to coat the chicken wings nice and even with the sauce.

Arrange it on a nice wooden platter with some chunks of coconut, melon, and some pineapple. Hana style! Fast and easy, everybody loves it!

HanaHotties Fish Taco: keep it simple 6 ingredients if you like, or you can just let your imagination go wild.

One-inch cubes of your favorite fish (best with firm fish, e.g. mahi-mahi, ahi, marlin, monk fish etc…will work great with calamari (squid) or tako (octopus) also.)

Chopped watercress (or green of your choice: spinach, kale, dandelion, romaine lettuce etc…)

Very thin slices of red onion or chopped green onion (scallion)

Diced tomatoes

HanaHotties Hot Sauce, Lilikoi/Guava flavor, put on as much as you can handle.

Tortillas or burrito wrap, either will work well.

Optional: Black beans, Shredded Cheese: best with goat cheese, sharp cheddar or your favorite cheese.

Get the grill nice and hot, then Grill the fish; make sure not to over cook the fish. Warm up the tortillas on the grill; keep an eye on the wrap it can burn fast. Place greens, onion, fish, tomatoes, HanaHotties hot sauce in the wrap. Enjoy!

Korean Short Ribs (Kal Bi)HanaHotties Style: This is basically a marinate that can be used on thinly sliced pork, veal ,chicken or firm fish as well.

Marinate:

2 Cloves chopped garlic

1 TBS Brown sugar (raw or white sugar will work also)

2 TBS Soy sauce

1 TBS Sesame oil

4 TBS HanaHotties Pineapple Hot Sauce

Pinch of salt or to taste

1-Pound Short rib (or the meat of your choice)

In a large bowl mix the marinate ingredients until the sugar is dissolved.

Add the short ribs to marinate. Coat the ribs with the marinate. Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap. Let it marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, the longer it marinates the better, but not more than 48 hours for beef. It does take less time for thin sliced pork and veal to marinate. Way less time for fish, careful not to marinate fish too long you can actually "cook" the fish in the marinate, this will make the fish fall apart.

Remember the sugar will caramelize on the meat when you cook the meat; this sweetness of the caramelizing will compliment the heat from the HanaHotties hot sauce .

To Grill or Fry?

Either way they are both tasty. Get the grill or cast iron frying pan nice and hot. Grill or fry to the texture you prefer. (Charred on the outside medium on the inside is tastiest). Remember to cook chicken until it is cooked through.

Serve with rice and green salad.
