Mango kimchi

Name: Mango kimchi
Ingredients: 3 300g unripe mangos; 2 spring onions; 1 long red chilli; 5mm piece of fresh root ginger; 2 cloves of garlic; 3 tablespoons fish sauce; 2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red chilli powder)

A sweet and spicy delight

“While not an obviously Korean ingredient, mangos really symbolize sunshine for me. I once spent a summer in Jeju Island where some of my family run a mango orchard, and while I was there I was lucky enough to eat the sweet, juicy fruit almost every day. This kimchi isn’t as strange as it sounds, with the mango bringing a really lovely sweetness to the usually spicy kimchi ingredients. ”
