The holiday season is here, and UH<\/abbr> News is asking members of the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> ʻohana to share their favorite recipes<\/a>. The hope is these recipes and the short stories that accompany them will give everyone some ideas for eats throughout the holidays along with some good feelings of the season.<\/em><\/p>\n

Known for his outstanding work ethic, calm demeanor and generosity, Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Community College Culinary Instructor Shawn Sumiki has taught there since 2008 and is an alumnus of the program he now leads. Last year, he was among the recipients of the UH<\/abbr> Board of Regents Medal for Excellence in Teaching<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2018, when many Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island residents were displaced by the K\u012blauea ash eruption and Puna lava flow, Sumiki was among the faculty, staff and students who jumped in to provide hundreds of people with three meals a day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the holiday season, Sumiki shared his recipe for a colorful, flavorful Thai salad.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a super-fast dish to prepare. It\u2019s also very refreshing and healthy,” Sumiki said. “My family loves this dish during the holidays due to its fresh and vibrant flavors!”<\/p>\n
