Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1/4 cup good-quality (thick) coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Scoop out the mango fruit and place in a food processor, blender or large chopper.
  2. Add all other ingredients. Process well but avoid over-processing, as you don’t want it too runny. If you prefer chunks of mango in your sauce, just pulse to create the sauce until you’re happy with the consistency.
  3. Do a taste-test. Depending on the ripeness and sweetness of your mango, you may have to add a little more sugar. Add more fish sauce for more flavor, or more chili for more spice. What you want is a balance of sweet, salty and spicy.
  4. Use as a marinade or sauce for chicken, pork, fish or seafood, Or serve as a delicious dip for nearly any finger food.
