FOR THE DRESSING:
2 tablespoons thai asian fish sauce, (nam pla)
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic, preferably fresh
1/2 teaspoon Thai hot pepper sauce (sriracha)
1/4 cup lime juice, fresh or bottled organic

FOR THE SALAD:
2 mangos, barely ripe, peeled
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
2 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 cups mung bean sprouts (about 6 ounces)
1/4 cup dry-roasted peanut, chopped

To make the dressing, simmer the fish sauce, brown sugar, and garlic in a small saucepan, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the hot pepper sauce and lime juice, and let cool.

To make the salad, shred the mangoes, rubbing the broad sides against the coarse teeth of a grater until you reach the pit. Turn and shred the other sides in the same way. Toss with the cucumber, scallion, red onion, and cooled dressing in a bowl. Make a bed of the sprouts on a plate and mound the salad on top. Garnish with the chopped peanuts.
