How to choose good ingredients
How to choose delicious dried fish
- You should choose dried fish that are of medium length from 10 – 15cm, with a torpedo shape and flattened on both sides. Along the body of the fish, there is a long yellow stripe extending from behind the eye to the tail scale.
- When selecting fish, taste a piece. If the fish is bland, it indicates that the fish is fresh and not overly seasoned.
- If you see dried fish with a deep color, you should avoid buying it as it has been heavily seasoned and lost its natural freshness.
- Additionally, to ensure the dried fish is delicious and of good quality, you can also refer to the method of making dried fish at home with a recipe from TasteVN.
How to choose delicious green mangoes
- When selecting green mangoes, you should choose those that have an even color, smooth skin, and no small dark spots. When pressed, the mango should be firm and not soft, with the stem slightly sinking into the flesh.
- Good green mangoes are usually firm, with a white powdery coating on the skin and a dark green color.
- You should avoid mangoes that are uneven in color, with wilted stems and small black spots on the skin, as these will not taste good and are very bland.

How to make Dried Fish Mango Salad
-
Prepare the ingredients
Wash the green mango thoroughly, then peel and shred it. Wash the garlic and peel it.
Wash the chili, Vietnamese coriander, lettuce, and tomato with water. For the Vietnamese coriander, chop half of it finely, and let the rest drain. Next, take one chili and slice it into strips.
Trim the tomato beautifully for decoration. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze to extract the juice.
-
Make the seasoning mixture
You add 7 cloves of garlic, 2 chili peppers, and 1.5 tablespoons of sugar into a mortar, pound them finely, and then transfer to a bowl.
Next, gradually add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1/3 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice into the bowl, then stir well to dissolve the seasoning and combine everything.
Tip: You can adjust the ingredients according to your family’s taste.
-
Grill the dried fish
After purchasing, grill the dried mackerel on charcoal until cooked, then tear it into small pieces suitable for eating.
Tip: You can fry the dried fish instead of grilling, depending on your preference.
-
Mix the salad
Now, add all the ingredients including shredded green mango, grilled dried fish, finely chopped Vietnamese coriander, sliced chili, and the seasoning mixture into a bowl and start mixing the salad thoroughly so that all the ingredients and seasonings are well combined.
Then, add the cleaned Vietnamese coriander and mix it again until evenly distributed, then serve on a plate and enjoy.
Tip: To make the mango salad tastier, mix gently without squeezing because that will make the mango release water, losing its crispness and flavor.
