evgoart — Sat, 11 Apr 2015 11:53:56 +0000

Green Mango Chili Fish Sauce, based on chili fish sauce, has the addition of shredded green mango and lime juice. This variation makes a great universal dipping sauce or a base for Thai salad dressing.

If you ever wonder what an average Thai eats at home, and if you could peer into their windows, you would often see a grilled catfish, fried fish or dried smoked fish eaten with this Green Mango Chili Fish Sauce. A Thai living abroad like me relishes Green Mango Chili Fish Sauce whenever I can get my hand on a green mango. With a bowl of rice, fried egg and this sauce is a meal I’m content.

Recipe Ingredients:

1/4 cup shredded green mango
2 – 5 Thai chili pepper
1 – 2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
1/2 lime

Recipe Steps:

Peel half of green mango and leave the other half unpeeled for an easy grip while shredding. Shred the green mango with a shredder.
Slice chili peppers into thin slices. Peel and slice a shallot.
Add everything into a dipping bowl. Pour fish sauce on top. Squeeze the lime in. Top the sauce with sliced chili peppers.
Serve as a condiment with Thai food.

In Thailand, every household has a different variation on the Nam Phrik recipe. However, Nam Prik has all the same basic ingredients: garlic, fresh chilies, fish sauce and lime juice. Thai chilies or also called Bird’s eye chili are one of the hottest chills out there, so once you have been cutting these please make sure you wash your hands really well. I even recommend using gloves cutting these things

Recipe Ingredients:
2 large cloves garlic, peeled
20 fresh Thai chili peppers (in a variety of colors)
1 tbsp fish sauce (nam plah)
Juice of 1 large fresh lime
1/2 tsp sugar (optional)

Recipe Steps:
Using a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic, and chilies into a chunky paste.
Add fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar (if desired). Serve as a condiment to steamed vegetables or grilled meats. Serves 4.
Notes: you may need to lower the number of chilies depending on your spice level.
