Everyone seems to have their own special recipe for shoyu chicken dishes, some people addorange juice or tomato sauce while others prefer to bake the chicken. No matter how itsmade, the chicken is usually very tender and delicious. Here is the easy way to do it.

Easy Shoyu Chicken

5 lb chicken 1 c shoyu 1 c sugar 1 c water

Combine ingredients in a large pot and cook on low for 2 hours. Chicken will be tender andfall off the bone.

Notes: I usually use skinless chicken to cut down on the fat. I like to add fresh ginger and

garlic to the sauce while its simmering. Chunky chopped Chinese cabbage can be placed inthe pot just before the cooking is done so the cabbage is soft but not mushy. Garnish yourdish with fresh chopped green onions.

THE HISTORY OF HULA

The Hawaiians inherited from the Polynesians their complex cosmology or world view. Mostarchaeologists agree that migration from Polynesia to Hawaii was in two parts, probably from the

Marquesas in the sixth century A.D. and from the Society Islands eight hundred years later. Thus, fleetwooden double-hulled canoes made the volcanic islands of Hawaii a northern extension of the rich

Polynesian cultural area.

Like the ancient Greeks, the Polynesians had a pantheon of gods and a body of myths describing thesupernaturals, usually human, often divine.

Hula was part of the Polynesian culture. Stories about the gods, and historical events were passed on inthe oral tradition by oli (chants) and mele (songs accompanied by music and dance). The apo (male or

female chanter) was able to recall and repeat chants for hours without error. In this way, sacred lorepassed from one generation to the next. Oli and mele were similar to modern poetry; they utilized interiorrhyme, hidden meanings, multi-leveled symbolism, unifying repetition, anger, embarrassment, joy, grief,

honor and humor.

Dances were an integral part of the culture when Captain Cook landed on the Island of Kaua`i in 1778,discovering for the Euro-American Civilization this last outpost of Oceanic Islands. With the arrival of

Western ideals in the islands, the dynasties of the Hawaiian kings alternately cherished or crippled theindigenous culture. Western ideals flourished alongside the peoples growing impatience with kapu and

restrictions of the ancient religion.

Forty years after Cooks appearance, the ruling Queen Kaahumanu became a Christian, and in a moveleading to the end of formalized Hawaiian rituals, ordered all heiau (sacred temple sites) and images

destroyed. The significance of the dances had gradually been lost to general understanding.

Hawaiian hula went underground. Dancers glorified the gods and entertained friends and families in

remote sections of the islands. Kumu (teacher) instructed and haumana (student) performed, but insecret. Once suppressed, hula became a titillating idea that the more enterprising white entrepreneursexploited. They presented exotic dances surreptitiously for seamens amusement. The Hawaiians were

delighted to take part, since to them all hula had equal importance. It was at this point that hula began toaccumulate its forlorn reputation of exotic and/or bawdy entertainment for sailors and tourists.

In 1830s, King Kamehameha III issued an edict guaranteeing religious freedom and tried to re-establishthe centrality of hula in Hawaiian culture. At this time the missionaries recognized that Hawaiian dance

could not be quelled, but countered with the condition that dancers wear the Victorian-style high necked,long sleeved gown (holoku) that they had substituted for the pau.

The personage of King Kalakaua, however, elected to a puppet leadership in 1874, was a temporarylight. He healed his culture and raised hula to a national symbol. Fun loving, politically astute, he enjoyed

celebrations, festivals and world traveling, earning himself the title of The Merrie Monarch. He linkedwaltzes and classical music with traditional hula at great royal celebrations. What appeared as frivolity

was a wisdom that forged a permanent place for hula in Hawaii's future culture.

King Kalakaua said: The hula is the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people.

After Kalakauas death and without the nurturing of Hawaiian royalty, hula resumed its former characterof superficial entertainment in an enigmatic culture. Tourism promoted hula as a national symbol, as a

product drained of meaning and focused on vacuous words, music and movement.

Meanwhile, the kumu guarded lore, chants and movements of the sacred hula and transmitted them tothe haumana. In the twentieth century, young women and men continued to be trained in the secrets of

the traditional hula, instilling the value of tradition. Hula will not become lost.
