Tips & Notes

• Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.

• Shopping Tip: Fish sauce is a pungent Southeast Asian condiment; find it in large supermarkets and Asian markets.
• Kitchen Tip: To peel and cut a mango:
• 1. Slice both ends off the mango, revealing the long, slender seed inside. Set the fruit upright on a work surface and remove the skin with a sharp knife.
• 2. With the seed perpendicular to you, slice the fruit from both sides of the seed, yielding two large pieces.
• 3. Turn the seed parallel to you and slice the two smaller pieces of fruit from each side.
• 4. Cut the fruit into the desired shape.
