In addition, for tossing the mac salad.
This Week’s Meal Plan #3
Made with aloha. Shared with love.
Dinner
Monday
First up, juicy, smoky chicken with a sweet island glaze. Start the marinade on Sunday.
Tuesday
Next, sweet, garlicky Korean short ribs. Plus, they cook in just minutes.
Wednesday
Meanwhile, Wednesday is buttery, garlicky shrimp like the North Shore trucks. Also, it is on the table fast.
Thursday
Then, melt-in-your-mouth beef and broccoli in a savory sauce. In other words, better than takeout.
Friday
Finally, an easy Friday: seared Spam, rice, and nori. Make extras for the weekend.
On the Side
Bonus
The scoop that completes every plate lunch. Best of all, it is even better made a day ahead.
Prep Tips for These Hawaiian Dinner Ideas
- Sunday: First, start the huli huli chicken marinade so it is ready for Monday.
- Make the mac salad early. Because it tastes better after a night in the fridge, make it Sunday and scoop it all week.
- Cook a big pot of rice. Since every dinner goes over rice and Friday’s musubi needs plenty, keep the rice cooker going.
- Prep the garlic. Since garlic shrimp uses a lot, mince it all at once, then keep it covered in the fridge.
- Slice the beef ahead. For example, slice Thursday’s beef while it is partly frozen, since it is much easier to cut thin.
