Instructions
- Cut open each package of fish, slide out filet and squeeze marinade into a medium sauce pan. Then cut each filet into large pieces, about 6-8 per filet. Set fish aside.
- Add mango spread, rice vinegar, sherry, soy sauce and ¼ cup of the pineapple juice to the pan with the Mahi Mahi marinade. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very low heat.
- Make rice by heating two cups of water to one cup of rice. Once rice is ten minutes from finishing, start next step.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over medium high and place two tablespoons of the peanut oil. Once hot, add fish into oil but do not crowd pieces. Cook in two batches if needed. Cook about 1 ½ minutes per side and remove to a plate or platter and set aside.
- Increase temperature to high. Add last tablespoon of oil and add garlic, ginger and onions and sauté for two minutes.
- Add bell pepper and carrots and sauté for three minutes.
- Add zucchini and remaining half cup of pineapple juice. Toss and stir for about five minutes or until vegetables are tender and juice has almost evaporated.
- Add pineapple, mango, cilantro and peanuts, Stir in half of warm sauce, saving the other half to serve over dish.
- To serve, place cooked rice on a platter, pour fruit and vegetable mixture over rice, place cooked fish over fruit and vegetables and pour remaining sauce over fish. (feel free to hold remaining sauce to serve on the side instead of pouring over top of finished dish)
- Garnish with additional cilantro and peanuts.
