Cat's famous Asian Cole Slaw

Marie recently tried this dish at a potluck and had to have the recipe! She recommends Red Boat Fish sauce. It's 100% Pure, first press extra virgin quality fish sauce made from only 2 ingredients: black anchovy and sea salt.

3 Tbsp fresh lime juice,  2 Tbs Asian fish sauce (nuoc mam or nam pla),  1 Tbs sugar,   1/2 tsn hot chili flakes (more if you are adventurous)  6 C finely shredded red and green cabbage,  1/2 C slivered red onion,   1/4 C chopped fresh mint leaves,   1/4 C chopped fresh cilantro,   1/2 C chopped roasted, salted peanuts.
In a large bowl, mix lime juice, fish sauce, 2 tablespoons water, the sugar, and the chili flakes to taste. Stir in cabbage and onion. Just before serving, stir in mint, cilantro, peanuts, and salt to taste.

Mana Foods voted Best Health Food in the Maui News

Mana Foods, now in its 29th year of business on Maui, has been voted Best Health Food for the third year in a row. A Baldwin Avenue landmark in Paia, Mana Foods is the place to go for the most vibrant, colorful selection of organic produce on the island. The store also uses the finest organic ingredients in its deli and even carries natural beauty products, like body cream, made with local, organic ingredients.

From its large vitamin room to its natural cleaning products, Mana Foods is the place health conscious residents like to shop for variety and value. “We try hard to keep prices down and get products people like,” said co-owner Theresa Thielk. “We emphasize freshness.” Watch for a big expansion of the deli department with an addition being planned for the coming year. “There will be all new deli equipment,” said Thielk. Shoppers will also notice wider aisles in the produce department that was made possible during a recent expansion of the cooler space.
