hawaiian essentials: huli, huli sauce
Huli, Huli sauce is sometimes referred to as Hawaiian BBQ sauce, and I suppose that is true, but I think it is so much more than that. It encapsulates a lot of what would be defined as Hawaiian, and is perfect for traditional pork dishes, as well as chicken and seafood. It can be used as a marinade or as a serving sauce.
