Green Mango SaladD.Schmidt
Green Mango salad is probably the most famous and also the most popular Thai salad, and for good reason. You'll love its exquisite mingling of flavors and textures. I know that when my husband's parents come to visit, I HAVE to make this salad - they love it! This step-by-step Green Mango Salad recipe also includes a one-page version in case you want to cut to the chase.

How many salads do you know of that speak to all the senses at once? Thai salads are meant to do exactly that, and this Thai Mango Chicken Salad is a prime example. It thrills your tastebuds with an exquisite mingling of flavors, it's visually beautiful, the smell of the mango and coconut are heavenly, and you'll hear a pleasant crunch as you indulge in bite after delicious bite.  Makes a superb summer salad for any occasion!

This Mango Sauce/Dip is easy to make, and always gets rave reviews when I serve it to company. A little coconut milk helps enhance the mango and give it a rich tropical flavor, while a touch of lime juice keeps it on the savory side.

Marvelous Mango Chicken

This Thai recipe for Mango Chicken is healthy and certain to please everyone's taste. Slices of flour-dusted chicken are pan fried, then simmered in a tangy mango sauce made with fresh mangos (if mangos are out of season, canned may be substituted). Includes a quick & easy version for the busy cook. Exotic but familiar tasting, this dish is deliciously good!

Thai-style Pork Chops with Mango

Instead of the usual applesauce or peaches, these pork chops are accompanied by a tangy Thai fresh mango sauce that marries beautifully with the flavor of pork. The chops are easily baked in the oven, and the accompanying sauce can be made as they bake.  A great recipe for everyday cooking as well as for company.

Grilled Mango Chicken (with Mango Dipping Sauce)

This Thai Mango Grilled Chicken recipe is a delight to make and to eat. And it's easy to whip up. A twist on traditional mango chicken, this barbecue version is equally delicious, and just as spicy-sweet. Simply toss a ripe mango (or use frozen mango) plus some key Thai ingredients into your blender, and you have a delicious mango sauce that works as both the marinade and a dipping sauce. Serve this barbecue chicken with some rice, and you'll make everyone happy at dinner - even the kids!

Grilled Scallops with Mango and Red Bell Pepper

Try this wonderful Thai recipe for Grilled Scallops. Either fresh mango or peaches can be used, depending on what is fresh and available where you live. Either sea scallops or larger bay scallops can be used in this recipe, and both are equally delightful. Great for a cookout/bbq party!

Seafood Mango Stir-Fry

This tangy mango stir fry is a seafood treat! Various types of seafood of your choice (fish fillets, mussels, clams, shrimp, scallops, etc...) are stir fried together with snow peas and red pepper in a sweet and sour sauce that marries perfectly with fresh mango (or you can use frozen or canned mango if you can't find fresh). Makes a very tropical and summery dinner treat!

Mango Sticky Rice Dessert - A Thai Classic!

Mango Sticky Rice PuddingD.Schmidt
Thai Mango Sticky Sweet Rice Dessert (Khao Niaow Ma Muang)is an absolute must try! This recipe is foolproof and even budding chefs with two left hands come off smelling mango sweet. This easy Thai dessert starts with Thai sweet rice (also called sticky rice) which is surrounded by a "bath" of coconut milk, then topped with slices of fresh (or frozen) mango. If you like mangos, you're going to love this very simple but tropical dessert. Mmmmm!
