The old crock pot is a favorite in the kitchen. There are a couple of dishes that happen to be my favorites and happen to be Hawaiian dishes - Kalua Pork and Shoyu Chicken. Both are fabulous and so easy to do. I love it!
Yesterday I made Shoyu Chicken. One of the things I certainly enjoy about it is the kids will eat it. I almost served the left overs for dinner tonight but the kids went over to Jay and Sara's to watch a movie for FHE. I did have a little rice and chicken for breakfast - move over wheaties, this is the true breakfast of champions. While enjoying a quick bowl I had one of those flavor flashbacks and was totally reminded of the meatballs they use to serve on rice and shredded cabbage at Kaiser High. I have to admit, I have no idea what kind of meat those meatballs were actually made of but I have a fairly good idea that they were cooked in a shoyu sauce very similar to the recipe I use for the chicken. I loved those meatballs. That flashback was a joyous one and I have decided that I am going to try the meatballs in that same shoyu recipe and throw in a little shredded cabbage as well. I am fairly certain it is going to be delicious. It's also going to be done in the crock pot which makes every cooking experience of mine better. I'm pretty excited about it.
Ultimately the old shoyu meatballs may be terrible and could very easily be a one and done. I guess we will just have to see.
i WANT SOME OF THOSE SHOYU MEATBALLS! I used to love them in Hawaii... save me a bite or two.
