This is quite possibly an irreverent version of the Hawaiian recipe, the authentic being more bland than I prefer. I have taken liberties to add a little flavor to suit my personal taste. It does not reflect upon Hawaiian culture in any way, shape or form. Being "my creation" it is how "I" make Hawaiian poi. Do not bring my race into the comment section. Thank you.
