1½ pounds mahi-mahi, sliced into strips 2” x ½”

Marinade:

1 cup pineapple juice

½ cup soy sauce

3 Tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped

2 Tablespoons garlic, chopped

¼ cup brown sugar

1 bunch green onions, chopped

½ bunch cilantro, chopped

3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Mu Shu Vegetable Mixture:

Vegetable oil

2 Maine lobsters 1½ pounds, poached, meat chopped

4 ounces daikon radish sprouts

½ head Napa cabbage, julienned

1 bunch green onions, julienned

1 red onion, julienned

1 red bell pepper, julienned

2 Tablespoons ginger, minced

2 Tablespoons garlic, minced

½ bunch cilantro, cut in chiffonnade

Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or pan and stir-fry all ingredients.  While the vegetable mixture is stir frying, grill the marinated mahi-mahi strips and prepare the Mu Shu taco shells (see below)

Mu Shu Taco Shells:

50-count package Mu Shu wrappers (similar to egg roll wrappers) If Mu Shu wrappers unavailable, use square wrappers and cut them into rounds. 

Peel stack apart, two at a time (doubling up for durability), and grill.  When the wrappers are still warm, fold into a taco shell shape.  Cool; wrappers will retain shape.

De-glaze Mu Shu Vegetable Mixture with soy-ginger sauce:

½ bunch cilantro, finely chopped

1 cup soy sauce

½ cup sesame oil

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

2 Tablespoons garlic, chopped

4 Tablespoons ground ginger

1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Wasabi Crème fraîche:

1 avocado

3 Tablespoons wasabi (or to taste)

1 cup sour cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

Puree avocado, wasabi, sour cream, salt, and pepper.

Fill cooled taco shells with Mu Shu Vegetable Mixture.  Top with grilled mahi-mahi strips.  Each plate should yield two tacos, cut into two pieces.  Garnish with cilantro twig, a couple slices of lime, and avocado wasabi crème fraîche.
