Today my husband and I went outside to steal some green mangos that grow near the road. The people who own that house went to the Netherlands and don't use their mango tree. Half of the mango tree is inside the fence and the other half is outside the fence, so itβs easy to pick them from the road. The owner has been gone for many years.
I know this from my landlord. We feeling uneasy to pick them from the people who do not stay home, but we do it because the store does not sell mangos. If we do not pick them, they go to waste. My family loves green mangos more than ripe mangos, so I made green mango salad with lemongrass for lunch today.

Cut tofu and deep-fry them. Saute the soy chunks with a little bit of salt for a few minutes and set aside.
Slice lemongrass, cut green mango, chilies, and peppers like you see.
Get a bowl and add soy sauce, salt, sugar and lemon juice. Stir it until dissolved. Next put lemongrass and chili, then mix it well. Add roasted soy chunks and fried tofu, then mix well.
Then add green mango, pepper, and nutritional yeast, then mix together and taste. Finally add mint and cashews, mix up again, and itβs ready.
I love to eat this salad with rice or couscous and my family loves it too.
