How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose green mangosteen for salad
- To make a delicious mangosteen salad, you should buy green mangosteen during the peak season, which is from April to August each year.
- Choose mangosteen fruits with dark green stems, dark green skin, and spots of red on the fruit. These are fruits that are nearly ripe, with a crisp texture and moderate sourness, which will give the salad a delicious flavor.
- Buy green mangosteen that is not too large but has a bottom tip with many petals, around 5 – 6 petals, as this will indicate more segments inside.
- Choose mangosteen fruits that have blemishes and a rough appearance.
How to choose fresh gray oyster mushrooms
- Choose gray oyster mushrooms with thick, chewy, and firm stems as they will be tastier and sweeter than those with small, wide stems. Select mushrooms with a sturdy stem, large cap, a slightly concave top, and thin, fibrous gills underneath.
- Preferably, choose oyster mushrooms that grow in clusters, are fresh, and have a distinct mushroom aroma.
- Avoid buying mushrooms with torn caps, broken stems, hollowed out, or those that are crushed and spoiled.

Prepare the mangosteen
Green mangosteen has a lot of latex, so when preparing it, you should place the mangosteen under running water, peeling the skin while allowing the water to wash away the latex more easily.
After peeling the mangosteen, soak it in a bowl of water with the juice of one lemon and ice to make it crisp.
Remove the mangosteen, drain it, and then slice it into thin rounds.
-
Prepare the other ingredients
Peel and slice the onion into thin strips. Pick the tops and young leaves of the Vietnamese coriander and chop them finely.
Clean the oyster mushrooms, cut off the stems, and tear the mushrooms in half or into thirds depending on their size.
Peel the tough outer layer of the lemongrass and crush it.
Mix the lemongrass and oyster mushrooms together and steam for 15 minutes to let the mushrooms cook and absorb the fragrant lemongrass aroma.
-
Mix the salad dressing
Mix the salad dressing with 5 tablespoons of lime juice (juice from 3 limes), 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of chili sauce, stir well.
-
Toss the mangosteen salad
Put the steamed oyster mushrooms and onions into a bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and mix well.
Place the Vietnamese coriander and green mangosteen on top, add the salad dressing, and gently mix.
Finally, sprinkle fried shallots, roasted peanuts, and Vietnamese coriander on top to complete the dish.
-
Final Product
The vegetarian mangosteen salad has a sour taste with a characteristic bitter aftertaste of green mangosteen combined with chewy mushrooms soaked in just the right amount of sauce; this is an extremely attractive dish during the mangosteen season and on refreshing full moon days!
