Maui Maui Rice Recipes

LOCAL STYLE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of oil and scramble the eggs for 30 seconds or until cooked to your preference. Set the eggs aside on a plate.
• Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of oil again to the wok. Fry the toughest vegetable (for this recipe it is the carrots) for a couple of minutes. Then keep frying the next tender vegetable (onions) and fry for another couple of minutes. Lastly, add in the most tender vegetable and cook for a minute. Set aside the cooked vegetables.
• *If your meat isn't cooked or you would like to warm it up, fry the meat in the wok for a few minutes or until the meat is cooked.
• Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of oil again to the wok. Add in the leftover rice and fry it until all of the rice has been coated in the oil. Add in the oyster sauce, shoyu, white pepper, and salt. Stir fry until well combined.
• Add everything back to the wok. Eggs, vegetables, and meat. Stir fry everything until has mixed well. Serve hot as a hearty meal or side dish. Enjoy!

MAHI MAHI WITH COCONUT RICE AND MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper, ginger, green onion, and salt in a bowl. Add the mahi mahi and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
• Bring the rice, water, chicken bouillon, and 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir, and simmer uncovered until the rice has absorbed most of the coconut milk.
• While the rice is cooking, remove the mahi mahi from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Place fish in a large baking dish in a single layer. Broil in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. If the fish browns too quickly, cover the baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the mixture begins to bubble, stir in mango cubes. Cook and stir until mango is tender, about 5 minutes. Serve by placing a mahi mahi fillet over a scoop of hot rice and top with the mango salsa.

HOMEMADE MAUI STYLE RIBS

Steps:

• Place the ribs in a sided dish just large enough to hold them in a slightly overlapping layer. Place remaining ingredients, except green onions, in a bowl, whisk to combine, and then pour over the ribs. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning occasionally. Preheat your grill to medium-high. Remove the ribs from the marinade; discard the marinade. Lightly oil the grill. Grill the ribs 4 to 5 minutes per side, until cooked through, nicely coloured, but still juicy in the middle. Sprinkle the ribs with green onions before serving.

WOWIE MAUI CHICKEN

MAUI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, soy sauce, and 1 can of pineapple tidbits with juice in a bowl. Allow chicken to marinate for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the marinade; strain the marinade in a colander, reserving the juice. Discard the pineapple.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir the vegetable mixture until the garlic is fragrant and the peppers begin to soften. Stir in the chicken and cook until the juices from the chicken run clear, about 15 minutes.
• Pour in the reserved chicken marinade, 1 can of pineapple tidbits with juice, black bean sauce, and crushed red pepper; season with salt and pepper; simmer 5 minutes.
