Chicken Hekka is Hawaii's version of Japanese sukiyaki! It's a mix of the good things: chicken, mushrooms, carrots, bamboo shoots, and noodles, simmered in a savory broth. It's a flexible recipe, add or substitute any vegetables you have on hand.

Somewhere between a braise and a stirfry, hekka is an ideal “clean out the fridge” meal because you can use whatever vegetables and greens are on hand.
Chef Sheldon Simeon prepared some amazing dishes for our 2014 Holiday Test Kitchen, including this chicken hekka recipe.
Chicken hekka is a popular dish in Hawai’i. Tender chicken stir fried with delicious vegetables tossed with noodles in a slightly sweet yet salty sauce. The ultimate comfort food.
Chicken hekka is a great and simple dish. It is made with rice noodles instead of flour noodles. It also has vegetables and different sauces. You can make these delicious noodles for dinner in just half an hour.

Born in Hilo, Chef Sheldon Simeon acquired his love for cooking from his parents. His path led from Hilo High to the Culinary Institute of the Pacific onto an internship at Walt Disney World. Upon returning to Hawaii, Simeon attended Maui Culinary Academy. After achieving the title “Fan Favorite” in the award-winning series Top Chef, Sheldon opened is casual eatery in Kahului Maui. Sheldon described where his passion and namesake developed with this quote “The sound of rain on a tin roof is what reminds us of home. You know when the rain is coming; it's soothing, calming, & comforting. In this tin roof garage under that Hilo rain is where we built our definition of home. Home by what was played by the people that surrounded us, and most importantly, what was cooked!Food is one of our definitions of home and what we love. We work closely with our local farmers, fishermen, ranchers, artisans, & purveyors to provide honest, ono food to our community. This is our humble beginning. This is our TIN ROOF.” We are overjoyed to have had Chef Simeon in our kitchen.
