Hawaiian Beets Recipes

Steps:

• In saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch & salt.

Steps:

• If using fresh beets, boil whole until fork tender, about 50 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Use a paper towel to peel the beets, then cut into 1/2-inch dice.
• Put the beets in a medium heatproof bowl. Combine the water, vinegar, and sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring, to dissolve the sugar. Add the salt and peppercorns and bring to a boil. Strain the hot marinade over the beets and stir in the ginger. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, drain the beets and transfer to a bowl. (You can reserve the marinade to use again; store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.) Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the beets and toss well.
• Toss the diced carrots and sweet onion together in another bowl.
• Divide the beets, rice, seaweed salad, and carrot-onion mix among four shallow bowls, arranging them in separate piles so that the colors and textures really stand out. Sprinkle the rice with the furikake and sliced scallions and serve.

Steps:

• Drain syrup from pineabble and combine it with vinegar, water, sugar, cornstarch, ginger and salt.
• Cook onion in butter in a saucepan until it is limp (about 3 minutes).
• Add syrup mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear.
• Add beets and remove from heat.
• Just before serving, add pineapple and reheat.
