Edit
Mangoes are still abundant here at my place, they are fantastically fresh in their season, I am a big fans of mango and I really wish that they are would last until next year, I wish…
I have always create to make something from mango since it seasonal and make sure that my creation always hits the day. My most favorite fruit snack is making them as candied mango (manisan mangga), very quick to make and really addicted, they are absolutely great to be a snack while watching movie at home during weekend, Oh Best!
As the side dish, I devoted to sambal mangga, serve with Ayam Goreng as the famous name would call lalapan ayam sambal mangga (Deep fried marinated chicken sides with fresh vegetable and serve with green mango sambal)
Sambal is part of my daily menu as complement and also very important to my home cooking, for you to know, most of all Indonesian food basically would serve with sambal to harmonized their meal.
Sambal mangga is shredded green mango coated with sambal terasi, its best using a rock hard and green mango, a super simple recipe to make that would impress you for sure.
Terasi is also known as belachan and its common ingredients used in Southeast Asia, it is crucial ingredients to make various typical Indonesian sambal/Indoneisan style dipping sauce
In fact, the basic of sambal mangga is sambal terasi, if you could make best and drooling sambal terasi then you would have the best sambal mangga :)
