Directions
- Peel the green mangoes and cut them into slices of the desired shape (usually long and thin). ≈ 8 min
- Soak the mango slices in water mixed with a small amount of food-grade lime for about 15 to 20 minutes to make them crispier.
- Next, rinse the mangoes thoroughly with clear water several times to remove any remaining lime residue, then drain them until they are dry. ≈ 2 min
- In a separate bowl, combine the white peppercorns, sugar, salt, and hot pepper flakes (to taste). ≈ 4 min
- Add the mango slices to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined and the mango is evenly coated with the seasoning. ≈ 4 min
- Store the marinated mango in a sealed container and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight, for a better flavor.
- Once the mango is thoroughly chilled and has absorbed the flavors, it is ready to be enjoyed. ≈ 3 min
