Come taste one of the foods of Samoa and see Paradise of Samoa dance at the Aloha Thursday Farmer's Market !! Paradise of Samoa will be there at 3:30 for cooking and authentic Polynesian Dance.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is the receipe for Samoan Sapa Sui :<br />
<br />
SAMOAN SAPA SUI (Chop Suey) -("Glass Noodles")- 10 servings<br />
<br />
1. Chopped up chicken, pork or beef. 3/4 " cubes - (we like to use boneless dark chicken meat)<br />
2. Vermicelli Noodles. (may use Dynasty mung bean vermicelli - our favorite) 6 oz package<br />
3. 1 medium size Chopped Onion.<br />
4. 3 or more clove of garlic (or more !!) of Chopped Garlic -minced size<br />
5. Soy sauce. (we prefer Luriat DeLuxe Soysauce- Dark)- 1 cup<br />
<br />
All of these ingredients are available at your local Asian Market.<br />
<br />
<br />
STEPS.<br />
1. Soak the noodles with warm water in a pot to soften it. Cut through each package maybe 3 times to make the strands shorter and more manageable<br />
2. Cook the meat with onions and garlic until it's cooked through<br />
3. Add the noodles and soy sauce to the cook meat, be careful with the soy sauce just enough to make the noodles a light brown color.<br />
4. Cook it for 10 minutes. Stir every 3 minutes and sparingly add water to make it a little moist while the noodles are cooking.<br />
<br />
Some people add a can of mixed vegetables, but Paradise of Samoa prefers to have their vegies to the side and we serve the Sapa Sui with Long Grain Rice, served Island Style.<br />
<br />
Use tofu instead of chicken for a meatless dish......<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy this simple recipe!!!!!!!!<br />

Razmus, U.S. Marine Corps !!!!The family of Henry R. Razmus, Captain, United States Marine Corps. contacted Paradise of Samoa and shared that Captain Razmus, a long time Salem businessman, had served with honor in Samoa and Micronesia during WWII. During those years in the 1940's Captain Razmus had been ceremonially gifted three Samoan <i>tapa</i> cloths (circa 1900-1940) and<i> kiki </i>(ceremonial skirts). He passed away in 2007.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
These were gifted to the Paradise of Samoa in order that the public has an opportunity to view them. The tapa and skirts have huge historical significance and are rarely available to be seen now except at the Smithsonian and Bishop Museums. <br />

<span style="color: red;"><b> AND CELEBRATE OUR DANCERS !!!!!</b></span><br />
<br />
People in the community ask how can Paradise of Samoa keep running and viable when there is no tuition, fees, or costume expenses for participants. First, it is the parents and families of the dancers and their commitment, secondly, it is the dedication of the dancers themselves, and thirdly, it is financially up to our sponsors, customers, grantors, and the LUAU, which is our major fundraiser of the year. <br />
<br />
This year, 2018, our 11th Paradise of Samoa Lua'u, we have partnered with the Keizer Rotary to become part of the Concert in the Park Series !!!<br />
<br />
Come on September 1st, 2018 at 4:30 and become a part of this joy ......the Paradise of Samoa.....<br />
