(Partner Content) Your new best friend for easy-to-make eats, devourable treats and local-kine flavors.
We all know Foodland is the place to shop for groceries. But what about those days when we need some recipe inspiration? Forget Google, Pinterest or Instagram: Head over to foodland.com and you’ll find a treasure trove of delicious, surprisingly simple recipes ranging from classic (five-ingredient creamy carbonara) to comforting (curry-roasted kabocha soup with ginger and coconut milk) to inventive (asparagus dip), all tried, tested and loved by Foodland ambassadors and chefs.
Out of them all, the ones we keep going back to are its collection of local-style recipes, which highlight the Island dishes and flavors we love most and no-fuss steps that fit in with weeknight dinners, potluck bites, busy folks and new cooks. Here are five of our favorites.
Instant Pot Kalua Pig with Cabbage

It’s one of Hawai‘i’s most iconic dishes, adored by locals and visitors alike. But kalua pig can seem like an intimidating dish for some cooks. Enter Foodland’s Instant Pot kalua pig and cabbage, which is simplifies the process with no corners cut when it comes to flavor. Just cut, marinate, add to the Instant Pot and, 75 minutes later, dinner is served.
Furikake Salmon

Packed with protein and quick to cook, salmon is the perfect choice for when you want to feel fancy without too much effort. This furikake-scallion mayo baked salmon is minimal prep and takes about 15 minutes to bake. The addition of chopped scallions and lemon juice keep this dish bright against the mayo and naturally rich salmon.
Kim Chee Taegu Dip
This Korean-fusion dish might cause your purist halmeoni (grandmother) to gasp—until she tries it. While admittedly not a traditional Korean recipe, this kim chee taegu dip, created by chef Keoni Chang, is undeniably addicting, especially when paired with buttery-sweet Ritz crackers.
Air Fryer Crab Rangoons

As longtime fans of anything with cream cheese or fried, we were thrilled to see Foodland’s air fryer crab rangoons. This recipe calls for just five ingredients and requiring no deep frying, saving you the annoying oily aftermath and extra calories. Whip these up for your next dinner party or potluck and watch them disappear.
Kakimochi Chocolate Chip Cookies
We’ve never met a chocolate chip cookie we didn’t like, and these kakimochi chocolate chip cookies always have us coming back for more. Chef Keoni Chang’s twist on the classic treat adds mochi crunch and a sprinkle of furikake, lending some umami, savory notes and a nice crunch to each bite. It’s the ultimate sweet-savory combination, local style!
