Green/Unripe Mango Salad



Now, I don't know if green mango is a different thing than unripe mango, but for this recipe I just assumed it wasn't.  I looked it up a ton of times on answers.com/wikipedia, you know, all the reliable websites.  After much research, I ended up using unripe mangoes, because they are green, in this recipe.  I really like papaya salad, which I looked up too when I was looking up how to make this dish.  One time, my family went to an all you can eat sushi buffet, which was amazing.  Except, when I took my first bite I inhaled a pepper and choked for a good 10 minutes, starting tearing up because that's just what happens when you are choking and coughing.

So, making green mango salad really isn't that difficult, because if it were, I probably would not really feel like making it.  I am incredibly lazy, although I seem quite on top of things, and would much rather just eat the food that my older sister makes while I sit in bed, than attempt to make food. I mean, I do enjoy cooking, don't get me wrong, it's just that I enjoy eating way more.

I ended up having practically none of the ingredients for the recipe so I improvised and it was fine.

Ingredients:
-green mango (possibly just an unripe mango)
-red pepper flakes
-soy sauce
-brown sugar

This is the recipe I used, but the other recipes I looked up called for lime and real chilis or jalapeños, which I'm sure would make this taste a lot more authentic.  But, for the ingredients I had, this did not come out that badly.

So, as usual, mix the wet ingredients together and set aside.  Slice the green/unripe mango into thin strips and toss in the sauce.  Then serve.  I scooped out the mango and put it on top of lettuce so it wasn't drenched in liquid.

Enjoy!
