SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN I

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, vinegar, reserved pineapple juice, and orange food coloring. Heat to boiling. Turn off heat. Combine 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; slowly stir into saucepan. Continue stirring until mixture thickens.
• Combine flour, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, salt, white pepper, and egg. Add 1 1/2 cups water gradually to make a thick batter. Stir to blend thoroughly. Add chicken pieces, and stir until chicken is well coated.
• Heat oil in skillet or wok to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Fry chicken pieces in hot oil 10 minutes, or until golden. Remove chicken, and drain on paper towels.
• When ready to serve, layer green peppers, pineapple chunks, and cooked chicken pieces on a platter. Pour hot sweet and sour sauce over top.

SWEET & SOUR HAMBURGER

Steps:

• Brown hamburger in a frying pan until well crumbled. Rinse under hot water, to remove any excess grease, in a colander. Return to frying pan.
• While it is frying, add all other ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 5 minutes or until sugar is melted and boiling, stirring occasionally.
• Add to rinsed hamburger and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 30 - 45 minutes until all of the liquid is gone and the hamburger has turned dark brown and is crystallized.
• Serve over rice.

SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN PITA BURGERS

Steps:

• Put the garlic, green onions, cilantro leaves, ginger, pineapple chunks and soy sauce into a food processor and blitz for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until everything is chopped up very finely. You want the mixture to almost be a paste.
• Scrape the mixture into a large bowl and set aside.
• Put the raw chicken into the food processor, in batches if necessary, and whiz for a minute or so until it is very finely chopped up and looking close to ground chicken.
• Put into the bowl with the first mixture and add in the breadcrumbs and egg.
• Use your hands to combine all the ingredients, making sure everything gets well mixed in with each other.
• Form into four burger patties and put into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or longer.
• Once the burgers are ready either cook them in a skillet with a bit of oil for 5 minutes on each side or cook on a Foreman type grill for about 10 minutes. Either way make sure the chicken is fully cooked before finishing.
• While the burgers are cooking put the pineapple juice into a small bowl and mix with the cornstarch. Put to one side.
• Put the ketchup, rice wine vinegar, pineapple chunks, soy sauce and sugar or Splenda into a saucepan.
• Turn the burner on to a medium high heat and stir just to combine the ingredients.
• Pour in the pineapple juice mixture and stir until the mixture thickens up. This only takes a matter of minutes so keep a close eye on it because it can very easily burn.
• Toast the pita breads and split them open lengthwise.
• Stuff them with whatever you like in your burger. We went with just some crisp lettuce.
• Then put one burger into each pita and spoon on the amount of sweet and sour sauce to fit your taste. Keep a napkin handy because they can get messy!

ALOHA! SWEET & SOUR BURGERS

Steps:

• NOTES: IF YOU CANNOT FIND DRY SAKE, SUBSTITUTE IT WITH DRY SHERRY. YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE FRESH GARLIC AND GINGER WITH 1/8 TEASPOON EACH GARLIC POWDER AND GROUND GINGER. FOR A MILDER SAUCE, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SRIRACHA. DICED ROASTED RED PEPPER MAY BE USED IN PLACE OF DICED ROASTED GREEN CHILES. HAVARTI CHEESE MAY BE REPLACED WITH MONTEREY JACK OR PEPPER JACK CHEESE. USE ONLY KING'S HAWAIIAN BRAND ORIGINAL SWEET HAMBURGER BUNS.
• PREPARE MEAT: Place 1 lb ground beef into a medium mixing bowl. Grate one loaf of SPAM over the ground beef. Mix 6 tablespoons cold water with 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch then pour over mixture. Grate 1/4 cup sweet onions into bowl. Wearing kitchen gloves, combine the meat mixture, squeezing it through the fingers until well combined.
• PREPARE PATTIES: Shape meat mixture into 6 equal patties, about 1-inch larger in width than King's Hawaiian Hamburger Buns. Place patties on a platter. Sprinkle each patty on each side with fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper. Refrigerate patties until ready to grill.
• PREPARE SAUCE: Whisk all of the sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Transfer sauce mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until completely thickened. Reduce heat to lowest setting and cover, stirring occasionally to refresh consistency.
• PREPARE BUNS: Lightly and evenly butter each separated flat surface of King's Original Hawaiian Sweet Hamburger Buns. Attach buttered cut sides together and return to the original bag until needed, to keep fresh.
• PREPARE FIXINGS: Cook the bacon if using, until crisp (2 slices per burger). Slice the vegetables and pineapple to specifications. Immerse the onion slices in the sauce. Cover and let heat. Turn once. Remove when onions have softened slightly.
• PREPARE GRILL: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Arrange patties on one side of the grill. Place pineapple slices on the other side of the grill. Turn each when dark grill-marks appear. Remove patties and pineapple when done to your satisfaction.
• TOAST BUNS: Place buttered buns sliced-side down on grill, just until medium-toasted.
• ASSEMBLE BURGERS: Turn the grilled pineapple rings in the heated sauce, until well-coated, then remove. Spoon or brush the prepared sauce evenly across each cut top bun portion. Turn the grilled patties in the sauce pan to coat. Place the cheese slices over patties. Cover saucepan until cheese is melted. Transfer patties onto the bottom bun halves. Stir the drained green chiles well into the sauce mixture. Continue assembling burgers with the bacon (optional), then pineapple, sliced onion, and lettuce. Spoon the sauce over the grilled side of each top bun. Place top buns over each assembled burger.
• SERVE IMMEDIATELY with Hawaiian potato chips, Maui onion rings or fries, and enjoy!
