Hello there!

Its been a while since I’ve blogged, but this Exotic yummy dish absolutely inspired me!

While visiting Hawaii, I was exposed to so many exotic fruits, but also a lot of meats that I do not eat… I ended up cooking a lot in our time share, which resulted in this Exotic Fusion of flavors that are to die for! Im obsessed!

I’ve made them with 3 different fillings, but I’m going to share my 2 favorite!

Mango Fusion:

• 3 Large Ripe Mangos (diced)
• 3 Large Ripe Avocados (diced)
• 2 Large Tomatoes (dices)
• 2 Medium Limes (juiced)
• 1 Small Cilantro Bunch (leaves only)
• 6 Green Onions (finely chopped)
• Sea Salt to taste (optional)
• White Pepper to taste (optional)
• 1 medium diced Jalapeño (optional)

1. Prepare all ingredients & place in a large bowl.
2. Pour the lime juice over ingredients & gently toss.
3. Add salt & pepper to taste.
4. Allow flavors to incorporate for at least 20 minutes.

Cabbage Bowls:

• 1 Small/Medium Red Cabbage Head
• 1 Small/Medium Green Cabbage Head

1. Gently clean off any dirt/residue off the Cabbage.
2. Cut off a 1/4 of the Cabbage Head to form bowls.
3. Slowly & Carefully peal each leaf off one at a time.
4. Do your best to create nice little cups that will hold food.

Exotic Thai Noodles:

• 3-4 Large Green or Yellow Zucchini
• 1 Spiralizer or Potato peeler
• In my pic, I used Tofu Noodles…
• You can substitute any type of Noodles you want!

1. Wash Zucchini.
2. Spiralize noodles or you can peel Zucchini Shavings.
3. If you are using store noodles, then prepare accordingly!
4. Set Noodles aside while you prepare Thai sauce…

Exotic Thai Sauce:

• 1/2 Cup Creamy or Chunky Almond Butter (or Peanut/Cashew)
• 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil (or Avocado/Vegetable Oil)
• 4 teaspoons of Spicy Sesame Oil (use plain to avoid heat)
• 2 Tablespoons Tamari
• 2 Tablespoons Coconut Aminos (or Soy Sauce/Braggs)
• 2 Tablespoons Coconut Nectar (or Agave nectar/Maple Syrup)
• 3 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar (or White Vinegar)
• 1 Lime (Juiced)
• 1-2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 Tablespoon Ginger Root (peeled then grated)

1. Whisk ingredients in a bowl until well incorporated.
2. Plain Sesame Oil works well if you are serving kids.
3. Start with 1 Garlic Clove then add more if desired.
4. Although Tamari & Soy Sauce are similar, I add both!
5. Play with consistency by adding a tsp. water or more of each flavor.

Exotic Mango Thai Wraps: 

1. Gently mix your Zoodles & Thai Sauce together.
2. Prepare them room temp or warm Zoodles & Sauce together.
3. Fill each Cabbage Bowl with 1-2 Tablespoons of Zoodles.
4. Place about 1-2 Tablespoons of Mango Fusion on Zoodles.
5. Squeeze more Lime juice on top. 
6. Now devour them at your Leisure!

I’m warning you… they are addicting!
