Hawaii 5-0: Mahi Mahi

I know–I do a lot of fish on the blog. I love seafood (I’d probably be able to be a vegetarian were it not for seafood).

Mahi mahi (“strong strong” in Hawaiian) is a large, bull-headed, deep-sea fish with gorgeous gold and teal coloring. It’s one of those things that I buy only once in a while and every time I eat it, I think, “Why don’t you buy this more often?” There are lots of fishes I love for lots of different reasons, but mahi mahi is one of my favorites, especially among the meatier fish. It also has a better chance of appeasing those who are wary of fish than say, swordfish or even salmon. Swordfish has a steak-like quality without the steak and salmon has a kind of salty oiliness–am I the only one who thinks mahi mahi has a touch of sweetness? Compared to many other large fish (tuna also comes to mind), mahi mahi is quite mild, gentle…friendly. And like most fish, it’s a snap to cook and perfect for exotifying a weeknight.

Cold Spicy Sai Fun Noodle Salad

It's very easy to "wing" sai fun noodles and to throw them together in a stir fry or hot soup. But here's a recipe for enjoying them cold.
1 6-ounce package dried bean thread noodles (saifun)
6 T. vegetable oil
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, finely chopped
18 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined, coarsely chopped
15 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 c. chopped green onions
1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro
3 T. chopped shallots
3 T. Thai fish sauce (nam pla)*
3 T. fresh lime juice
2 1/2 t. minced seeded Thai chilies* or serrano chilies

Place noodles in large bowl. Cover with cold water; let stand until noodles begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large pot of boiling water; cook until just tender and pliable, about 3 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water; drain.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and shrimp; stir-fry until cooked, about 4 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Heat 4 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garlic-oil mixture to bowl with chicken and shrimp; cool.

Add noodles, green onions and remaining ingredients to bowl. Toss to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
