This past week I made the Jaew recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook to go with his Nua Kem recipe. I had heard of jaew, but never made it nor tried it. It’s a thin sauce that’s spicy and salty with a touch of sourness.
On our last day in Hawaiʻi, we drove back to Kona from Hilo. We stopped at Rainbow Falls, ʻAkaka Falls, and Umaoma falls and got a look at Waipiʻo Valley from the overlook.
For our seventh day in Hawaiʻi, we had a bit of a looser itinerary. I went to a botanical garden, a brewery, and we all watched fireworks.
Today we spent most of the day at Kīlauea in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
Today was a travel day, driving to Hilo for the last half of our trip. We took the saddle road (Highway 200) which goes through the middle of the island, stopping at the Mauna Kea visitors center for a short hike. Then we settled into Hilo for the evening.
