Tips

Tips: If you are using a sugar substitute for the Mango Cucumber Salad, we recommend Sugar Twin(R) Brown or Sweet'N Low(R) Brown. Follow package directions to use product amount equivalent to 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Nutrition Per Serving with Substitute: same as below.

We do not recommend using a sugar substitute for the Thai Shrimp Coconut Soup.

Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.

To make ahead: Mango Cucumber Salad (Step 1) may be prepared ahead and chilled up to 2 hours.

It was good. The lemon grass gave it a weird crunch that I wasn't crazy about. The lemon grass and onions were all on the bottom and didn't create a good bite. Next time I think I will strain out the lemon grass and onion.
