Now that mango season has arrived, if you can enjoy mangoes with a spicy-sour touch... it's sure to make your mouth water.
Let's try making a Thai-style salad with green mangoes.
Ingredients (for 4 people)
2 tablespoons dried shrimp
8 red chili peppers
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Half an onion (thinly sliced)
3 medium-sized unripe mangoes (washed, peeled, and shredded with a grater)
5 long beans (cut into 2-inch pieces)
14 small cherry tomatoes (halved)
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
4 teaspoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts
Method
Pound the dried shrimp lightly until slightly broken, then put it into a mortar.
Add the thinly sliced chili peppers, garlic, and onion, and pound together. Then add the mango and pound.
Add the long beans and tomatoes, and pound together. Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar, and pound again.
Transfer the pounded mixture into a plate, then garnish on top with dried shrimp and peanuts.
