Mamuang Nam Pla Wan[edit]

Mamuang Nam Pla Wan (Thai: ________________) is a popular Thai dish that combines the tartness of green mangoes with a sweet and savory dipping sauce. This dish is a staple in Thai cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients[edit]

Serving[edit]

Mamuang Nam Pla Wan is typically served with the mango slices arranged on a plate and the dipping sauce in a small bowl. The dish is often garnished with additional dried shrimp or chili peppers for extra flavor and visual appeal.
