Spicy Mango Mahi Mahi: A Light Recipe Featuring Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar

I was recently sent some Nakano seasoned rice vinegars, to try out, and I’ve enjoyed incorporating them into dishes.  I’m particularly fond of the garlic flavored one, which was used in the creation of this Spicy Mango Mahi Mahi recipe.  Nakano seasoned rice vinegars are perfect when you are trying to cook lighter.  They add great flavor without being overpowering at just 20 calories per tablespoon.
