At CanoeHouse on Hawai‘i Island, chef Rhoda Magbitang balances bold flavor with island lightness in this deceptively simple dish. Blistered sugar snap peas get dressed in a wasabi-laced vinaigrette, then finished with tangy goat cheese and toasted pine nuts for crunch. It’s a punchy, addictive starter that captures the CanoeHouse philosophy: grounded in the land, elevated by technique.
