Raw Mango Salad (with Torch Ginger)

Raw Mango Salad (with Torch Ginger)

This is very my version of Green Mango Kerabu Salad, keeping it a little more simple. Kerabu salad often includes Chopped Mint and sliced Shallots.  I have skipped these, although you may like to add them. A tongue-tingling, refreshing fresh salad , that is a great side dish. I love to serve it with fried rice. It is great with spicy main dishes too.

Torch Ginger is part of the ginger family and looks like a flaming torch. Hence the name – Torch Ginger Flower. It has a  mild, sweet floral fragrance and a faint hint of ginger. An exotic piquant flavor that really boosts the dishes it is used in. Torch Ginger is also high in antioxidants and antibacterial properties.

In Malaysia, it is called Bunga kantan -used extensively in Malay and Nyonya cuisine. It is used in curries and seafood dishes. In Singapore, the buds are called Rojak Flowers because they are mainly popular in  Rojak (a spiced fruit and veg salad). In Thailand, they are called Daa Laa (ดาหลา) and they are also used in fresh Salads and even ornamentally. In Indonesia, known as Kecombrang it is also used in Drinks, Salads, and Sambals.

In any case, a touch of Torch Ginger adds that exotic perfume, to many South East Asian dishes you may have tried, but don’t know what that nice flavor is!
