Ma-muang Nam-pla Wan

Ma-muang (mangoes) Nam- pla Wan or Green Mangoes served with Sweet Fish Sauce is one of a very delicious Thai dip. We eat it all year round but it is best in Summer like this 'coz it's Mangoes time.

It's so easy to make.

Ingredients

10 green mangoes

1 lb Palm Sugar

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup fish sauce (Nam Pla)

1/2 cup finely sliced Shallots

1/2 cup dried shrimps, pounded in a mortar and pestle or ground up in a food processor if you don’t have mortar.

Finely sliced hot chili peppers ( as much as you like)

Method

1. Mix palm sugar, water and fish sauce in a pot and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly. 2. When the mixture has become a thick syrup, add the shallots.

3. Cook until shallots are tender.

4. Remove from heat and blend in dried shrimp & chili peppers.

5. Stir well, and set aside

Serve

1. Peel the mangoes and cut into thin slices (approx 1/4", but be careful not to cut them too thin).

2. Place the mango slices in a container and chill in the fridge to improve flavour and crispiness.
