Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula (for mixing)

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp palm sugar, chop to measure
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, optional, see notes
  • 2 tsp dried chili flakes, adjust to taste
  • 7 oz or 1 cup green mango, shredded
  • 1/3 cup shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp roasted peanuts
  • 2 tbsp dried mini shrimp, optional
  • 1.5 oz crispy fish skin, optional, see notes

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine palm sugar, dried chili flakes, lime juice, and fish sauce. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Crispy fish skin - If you can't find this, you can add dried mini shrimp for a traditional substitute. You can also add a different protein like grilled chicken or shrimp.
  • Fresh lime juice - Only needed if your mangoes aren’t very sour.
