Use Hawaiian ingredients: pork, fish, ginger and varieties of sausage. Make these ingredients the staple of your meal or recipe, and be sure that they are fresh. Keep soy sauce, kim chee roots, red chile pepper, chile paste and sweet chiles on hand to compliment your dishes and serve as garnishes.

Use ancient island methods of cooking to prepare your dishes. Cook with hot coals or ashes, and wrap the food in ti leaves to avoid burning. Spread the food flat over the heat when using the coal or ashes method. Add hot stones to liquids to warm and cook. Place food into an earthen oven, especially when preparing meats. Use heavy wooden cutting and pounding boards, wooden serving dishes, and bamboo utensils and implements. Allow plenty of cooking time when using these traditional methods, as they can take twice as long as conventional methods.
