How to choose good, less sour green mango

- Choose green mangoes that are larger than your fingertip, with a slightly light green color; do not pick dark ones as they may be too small and sour, making them not tasty.
How to Make Thai Style Tamarind Sauce
-
Prepare Tamarind
First, use a knife to cut the tamarind lengthwise, deep enough to reach the seed, then put it into a bowl of clean water that has 3 tablespoons of salt added, and soak for 5 – 10 minutes.
Tips to Prevent Tamarind from Being Sour and Astringent- To prevent tamarind from being sour and astringent, you need to rinse the tamarind several times with water before mashing and mixing it with spices.
- While rinsing the tamarind, you can taste it to see if it has reached the desired sourness.
-
Mash Tamarind
After rinsing several times and finding the tamarind has achieved the desired sourness, place it on a cutting board and use a knife to mash each piece until the flesh slightly separates.
To clean it, you need to squeeze and rinse the tamarind again with water, remembering to squeeze out all the water before placing the tamarind into a bowl or dish to mix the sauce.
Make the Thai sauce to mix with the green mango
Put a pan on the stove and add in order, 1 cup of fish sauce, 2 cups of sugar (you can use brown sugar for a nicer sauce color), half a cup of chili sauce, stir well over low heat until the sauce thickens gradually.
Then, pour the finished Thai sauce into the bowl of green mango, mix well to let the mango absorb the flavor. Wait about 20 minutes, the mango will absorb the seasoning evenly and it’s done. You can add a few spoons of chili powder to stimulate the taste if you can handle the spiciness.
