Serves4
Preparation Time10 min
Ingredients
- 14 ounces ripe mango
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 ounce ginger
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Hold the mango upright - so the place where the stem was is at the top.
-
Turn the mango, so the widest side is facing you.
-
The pit mimics this same shape - it's tall, wide, and not very deep.
-
Cut all the way around as though you are creating two halves, one whole piece facing you, and one facing the opposite side.
-
Go ahead and peel this side (using a vegetable peeler).
-
Slide your sharp paring knife between the peeled flesh and the pit.
-
As you separate a section of the pit, slice it away from the rest of the flesh.
-
If you don't use a sufficiently sharp knife, you just end up with a mess.
-
Peel and slice the mango and transfer to a blender.
-
Add fish sauce, chopped ginger, chili flakes, and brown sugar.
-
Blend until smooth.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
