Shoyu Hotdog by Lanai Tabura

This week we decided to showcase some of my child-hood easy recipes. We get a lot of messages and emails asking for simple and quick recipes so here you go.

Growing up on the island of Lāna’i with no fast food and a lot of time my mom taught us the simple things in life are sometimes the best. We had a 1/2 acer garden my tutu and tutu kāne taught us how to use to survive.

We also did not have a lot of money so canned tuna and spam with eggs where something that we always in the house. If there is something we haven’t made on the show, and you had it growing up in Hawaiʻi,  please send it to us.  We would love to hear from you.
