If you’re ever in Hoi An, Vietnam, home of many tailors, take five from trying on dodgy suits and stroll the street beside the river to find the Mango Rooms. Make sure you try the Mango Rooms’ Mango Salsa, prepared by super cool owner and chef, Duc.
Modern and relaxed, Duc creates cuisine inspired from his many years of travelling the world, including time spent in New Zealand and South America. Each dish uses Vietnam’s plentiful mangos to add a flavour twist.
Here’s my version of Duc’s Mango Salsa, great on fish or chicken, or as an aperitif with pita crisps.
Take 1 small chilli and 2 cloves of garlic finely chopped, 1 thinly sliced red onion, 2 mangoes and 2 tomatoes roughly cubed.
Mix gently to combine. The salsa should be chunky, not pureed.
Toss in a couple of tablespoons of lime juice, roughly chopped cilantro and add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately.
