Ingredients
  

  • 2 bunches of hō'i'o (warabi fern)
  • 2 bags soft cuttlefish 1.5 oz. each, chopped
  • 5 tomatoes diced
  • 2 large yellow onions chopped
  • 2 packages Gobo / Fishcake
  • 3-4 small red Hawaiian Chili peppers minced
  • 1 package Kamaboko
  • 1/3 cup Oyster Sauce
  • Hawaiian salt to taste
  • 1/3 cup Sesame Oil

Instructions
 

  • Clean and wash hō'i'o thoroughly.
  • Make sure all hair is removed from fern.
  • Gently bend hō'i'o. If the h?‘i‘o is soft and flexible, it is an edible portion. Hard portions are tough, typically the bottom third, and must be cut off. 
  • Cut hō'i'o into 1 inch pieces and place into a large bowl or pan for soaking.
  • Boil large pan of water and pour over hō'i'o enough to totally cover. Soak 5 minutes. 
  • Drain in the sink and flush with cool water. Return to bowl/pan for ice water bath to cool fern pieces quickly and completely. This keeps fern crisp and not slimy for the salad.
  • After 30 min, drain water thoroughly and leave in bowl.  
  • Add tomato, cuttlefish, chili pepper and onion to drained hō'i'o.
  • Cut Gobo/fish cake in half and then into thin 1” pieces.
  • Kamoboko to be cut into thin pieces–Add both to mixture.  
  • Stir mixture adding sesame oil and oyster sauce and Hawaiian salt to taste.
  • Mix well by hand. Put into a large Ziploc bag and allow to marinate, refrigerated for 1-2 hours prior to serving.
