Mamuang nam pla wan

Mamuang nam pla wan is a traditional dish. It consists of unripe green mangos and a sticky, sweet, and savory dipping sauce called nam pla wan. The dipping sauce is made with a combination of fish sauce, palm sugar, shallots, chili peppers, shrimp paste, and dried shrimp. The dip can be bought in most stores and markets in Bangkok. Although this version is served with unripe mango slices, there are also versions with similar fruit such as strawberries and sour green apples. The snack is especially popular in the summer, when it can be bought at numerous street stands.
