In the Philippines, this dish is usually made with grated green papaya. We've decided to go with mango, as it is a little easier to find.
Ingredients
1/3 cup apple-cider vinegar or cane vinegar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp ginger juice
1/2 tsp salt
pinch cayenne pepper, (optional)
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced firm (not overly ripe) mango, (about 1)
1 small shallot
1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 garlic clove, sliced
1/4 cup peeled and thinly sliced carrot
Instructions
1. Combine vinegar with sugar, ginger juice, salt and cayenne in a small saucepan over medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved, about 1 min. Let cool slightly.
2. Pack a 2-cup jar with mango, shallot, pepper, garlic and car- rot. Pour vinegar mixture into jar. Top with enough water to completely submerge mango and veggies. Let cool to room temperature, then cover with lid and refrigerate at least 1 day before serving. It will keep well up to 5 days.
