Thai recipe
Mango Salad
This is a light and refreshing Mango salad that would make an excellent lunch dish as it contains thin slices of pork.
2 firm mangoes
1 teaspoon peanut oil
5 cloves garlic -- fried crispy
4 green onions -- thinly sliced
4 ounces pork tenderloin -- finely chopped
1 Tablespoon dried shrimp shreds -- or chopped
1 Tablespoon fish sauce
1 Tablespoon lime juice
1 Teaspoon palm sugar -- (brown sugar)
2 Tablespoons peanuts -- roasted and chopped
1 thai chili -- finely chopped
1 teaspoon coriander -- chopped
1 teaspoon mint -- chopped
Peel the mango and slice into julienne strips. Heat the oil and fry the garlic until crisp - but not burnt.
Fry the pork, using the garlic oil until cooked through.
Toss together the dried shrimp, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, cooked pork and half of the peanuts in a bowl; add mango and toss well.
Garnish the salad with the remaining peanuts, green onion and crispy garlic.
Coconut Chicken Soup
Coconut Chicken soup is a popular Thai dish found in most restaurants.
This version is very high on the heat scale as it calls for Habanero peppers. Omit or adjust chile quantities as needed.

2 Stalks lemongrass, very thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, julienned

Salt to taste
Heat a large soup pot, add the oil. Add the onions,
lemongrass, and all the peppers and chiles and saute until soft, stirring
frequently.
Add the ginger, garlic, and mushrooms, reduce the heat
and continue to saute for 10 minutes.
Turn the heat to very low and stir in the coconut

to boil! Simmer until the chicken is just tender.
