  • Aunty Ayame's Shoyu Chicken
    Review By: Tim
    I followed this recipe only I used 3/4 cup ketchup and 1/3 cup sugar, and it came out great. had it over rice with some mac salad. If it was in a plate lunch container with some cabbage I'd have felt like I was back in Kaneohe.

We invite you to submit RECIPE REVIEWS for those recipes you have tried and love. It is a great way to share aloha with the "virtual" AlohaWorld ohana. Simply find your favorite recipes and click on the Review This Recipe link.
