How to choose fresh ripe mangoes
- Choose fruits with evenly yellow skin, not soft or wrinkled.
- Prefer fruits with a firm stem, slightly indented into the flesh.
- Additionally, good mangoes will have taut skin, few bruises, not bumpy, and have a natural fragrant smell.
What is Shortening? Where to Buy?
- Shortening is a type of fat ingredient, existing in solid form and produced from vegetable oils (such as soybean, cottonseed oil,…) blended with lard. Many people refer to shortening as mutton fat or tallow.
- Shortening will help make the crust of the cake softer and fluffier for types of pastries like tarts, pies, cookie cakes,….
- Additionally, this ingredient also helps increase the sweetness and prolong the shelf life of the cakes.
- You can buy shortening at specialty baking ingredient stores, at markets, or on e-commerce websites.

How to Make Mango Pie – Fried Cake with Mango Filling

Prepare the Mango
Peel the skin, then cut to obtain the mango flesh. Next, puree the diced mango flesh until smooth.
For the mango flesh attached to the pit, use a spoon to scrape it off and set it aside in a bowl.
-
Cook the mango sauce
Place a pan on the stove, add the blended mango, 200g of sugar, 57ml of lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir well over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Next, mix 177ml of water with 90g of cornstarch, then gradually add it to the mango pan while continuing to stir.
Finally, add the grated mango, mix once more and then turn off the heat. Transfer the filling to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it cool completely.

Mix and knead the dough for the crust
Add 600g of flour, 200g of shortening, 10g of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt to a bowl, then mix well with your hands.
Next, add 158ml of water and continue kneading until the dough forms a uniform mass. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Rolling the dough and wrapping with mango sauce
Beat 1 chicken egg to prepare for the wrapping process.
After 30 minutes, divide the dough into several equal parts and roll it thin. Next, place the filling in the center, brush a layer of egg around it, and then fold the edges of the dough over.
Use a knife to cut the edges of the dough evenly, then use a fork to press around the edges to seal them tightly, and it’s done.

Frying the cake
Heat a pan of oil until boiling, then add the cakes to fry over medium-low heat until the outer layer is golden and crispy.
