Thai Mango Sauce Recipes

THAI MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Zest peel from 1 lime and place in a measuring cup along with 1/4 cup of lime juice.
• Whisk in fish sauce, sugar and thai pepper until sugar is dissolved.
• Gradually whisk in peanut oil until blended.
• Add shallot, mix well.
• Set dressing aside.
• Peel mangoes, then cut away chunks of fruit from pits then, cut into thin strips (julienne, or use grater) and place in a large bowl.
• Seed sweet pepper, cut into very thin strips and add to mangoes.
• Add carrot, half of green onions, and cilantro. Toss gently until combined.
• Add dressing and a pinch of salt, toss until mixed.
• Sprinkle with nuts and remaining green onions.
• Note: I usually serve this on a bed of lettuce and garnish with a few sprigs of cilantro.

VEGGIE SPRING ROLLS WITH THAI MANGO DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender, combine all the dipping sauce ingredients except the basil and cilantro. Blend until smooth, add the basil and cilantro and pulse until chopped. Pour into a bowl, cover and place in the fridge until serving.
• Squeeze a little lime juice over the sliced avocado. Create an assembly line of vegetables and herbs, so that they are all ready to go.
• Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Add a rice paper sheet, one at a time for 5 to 10 seconds. Remove and place on a flat surface. Toward one end of the rice wrapper, begin layering with 1 to 2 slices of avocado, small handfuls of fresh cilantro and mint, and a handful of veggies. Sprinkle the veggies with salt and pepper. Fold both ends to the center and roll the sheet as tightly as you can without ripping. Place each prepared spring roll on a serving platter and cover with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil to keep the spring rolls from drying out.
• Continue with remaining ingredients, adding them to the platter as you work. Keep the spring rolls covered with foil at all times.
• Serve the spring rolls with the mango dipping sauce and chopped peanuts (if desired).

THAI COCONUT CAKE WITH MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease a tube pan.
• Beat the egg WHITES on high for about 3 minutes - till they resemble whipped cream, and set aside. (Doing this first helps insure no grease from the next steps carries over on the beater/bowl and prevents them from whipping up!).
• Beat the egg YOLKS, adding in the sugar, salt, oil, coconut milk and coconut extract.
• Add the baking powder and then the flour to the yolk mixture.
• Beat just till blended.
• Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture just till incorporated - you want to keep it as fluffy as you can but still mixed.
• Pour into your prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes - or till the top is golden brown and an inserted knife/cake tester comes out clean.
• Sauce:.
• Place all the sauce ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend till smooth.
• To serve:.
• Warm the mango sauce in a saucepan.
• Cut slices of the cake and plate them.
• Pour warm sauce over.
• If desired garnish with freshly toasted unsweetened coconut.

THAI MANGO CHICKEN

Steps:

• To make the mango sauce, simply place all sauce ingredients in a food processor. Process well.
• Do a taste test for salt, spice, and sweetness. Add more sugar if you find the sauce too sour. (Sourness/sweetness will depend on how ripe your mangos are). If too sweet, add a little more vinegar. If not spicy enough, add more chilli sauce. If not salty enough, add more fish sauce. If too salty, add more lime juice. Remember, the goal for this sauce is to reach a balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty.
• Add the sauce, chicken and red pepper slices to a wok.
• Stir well and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to a simmer (medium-low heat), and cover. Stirring occasionally to keep from sticking, continue cooking for 30 minutes (or until chicken is well done).
• Finish the dish with a sprinkling of cashews and fresh coriander.

THAI MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Scoop out the mango fruit and place in a food processor, blender, or large chopper. Add all other ingredients. Process well to create a delicious mango sauce. Tip: 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. Do a taste-test. Depending on the ripeness/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. Use as a marinade/sauce for chicken, pork, fish, or seafood, OR serve as a delicious dip for nearly any finger food. ENJOY!
