"Do not use a blender or a food processor to mince your mango in this recipe. There is more damage done to the cellular structure in a blender, which can create a noticeably different taste and texture. I'll always believe my spicy mango sauce tastes better because I cut it by hand." — Chef John

This was really tasty and perfect for me since I have a whole box of mangoes to use up! I followed the recipe exactly and enjoyed it as a dip with some tortilla chips, but I do think this would go really well with chicken. I just love that sweet/spicy combo, and the longer it sat the better it tasted, IMO. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Chef John!

This was amazing I used Asain Chili Sauce since I didn't have the paste and used Cilantro paste, comes in handy if fresh in not available. Definitely will make this again soon used it over Grilled Mahi Mahi.

OMG! It was so goooood! I topped sautéed shrimps with the sauce as an appetizer. The only changes I've made are substituting lemon juice for rice vinegar and fresh parsley for cilantro (my husband's not a fan of it). I didn't use any garlic and Thai chili pepper because they weren't mentioned on Chef John's blog @ foodwishes.com. Definitely will make this again. Thank you so much Chef John for all your hard work in bringing these amazing recipes to our kitchen. David and I are big fans of yours!
