Mango and Fish Sauce!

One of my most favorite treats growing up was eating green mangos or sour apples with fish sauce and sugar. I remember my Mom, Aunt Ann, my cousins, and I would walk over to the neighbors yard and pick the greenest of apples from the tree. My cousins and I would get to climb the tree and grab the best apples and hand them to Mom and Aunt Ann. We would pick so many that we had to use our shirts as a basket. I miss those days and so thankful for the sweet memories. Now I search for the greenest mangos I can find in the markets. I don't always find the greenest mangos so when I do it is a treat. This recipe is super easy and definetly one you must try. Just clean, peel, and thinly slice a green mango. For the sauce combine 1/2 cup fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and half of a small red chili pepper. Depending on your tastebuds you can adjust the sugar and chili pepper amount. I like to put my fish sauce mixture in a bowl and dip the mangos. When I'm not in a hurry, I like to combine all the ingredients together and let marinate for about an hour. Who can not resist the tartness from the green mango infused with the salty fish sauce, sweetness from the sugar, and the bite of heat from the red chili pepper. Absolutely mouth watering! Enjoy!
