Ooh just remembered a really simple yet yummy recipe for Thai Mango salad, which is always a fave here in Malaysia.Measurements might be a little off, so bear with me and add/reduce to your liking.
Tip:really good when eaten with chicken rice, which is another recipe altogether!!
Mango salad:
1 firm mango (green, not ripe please), peeled and shredded
the juice of one lime
half to one teaspoon sugar
1 small clove garlic, pounded
1 tablespoon fish sauce/nam pla
2 shallots, sliced thin
1 green onion, chopped
(for those who like the taste of anchovies, fry some til crispy and toss them in generously! It tastes good, I promise!otherwise, leave them out)
fresh coriander, chopped
1 cup greens (lettuce etc)
some shrimp, peeled and deveined, stirfried/grilled and then added in whole or chopped. (if you lazy, maybe might work zapped in a microwave for a while? i dunno)
chillies-seeded and finely chopped (this one, you put in according to your taste.We normally put in as many of the smallest, hottest chillies we can find, but if u don't fancy burning your tongue then just use mild larger chillies)
Combine mango, sugar, lime, garlic, fish sauce, garlic,onions, shallots, chillies etc in a bowl.
Place greens on a platter, and put mango mixture onto greens, scatter shrimp and/or anchovies, garnish with coriander.
enjoy!
