Hawaiian Plate

Dating back to the 1880s, the ubiquitous ‘plate lunch’ is said to have it’s roots among plantation laborers who hailed from Japan, China, Korea, the Philippines, Portugal and other areas. Workers needed hearty lunches and would pile leftover rice and meats into metal kau kau tins (traditional Hawaiian lunch boxes) to eat while working.
