Here’s to one of my guilty summer snacks: FRUIT w/ Fish Sauce & Pepper. Summertime means plums & peaches are in season. In my family we love to add fish sauce & pepper flakes & sugar into sour crunchy fruits to give it that mouth watering taste/flavor.
2wholenavel oranges (Peeled/sliced into bite size pieces)
1 1/2tspfish sauce(I use 3 crab brand)
1tspchili pepper flakes (add more if you want more spice)
Plum
8 ozsour/crunchy red plums(sliced into bite size pieces skin on)
1 Tbspfish sauce
2tspchili pepper flakes
1 1/2 Tbspsugar(add less or more depends on you)
1/8tspMSG(about a pinch)
1/4tsptoasted rice powder (OPTIONAL ONLY) I don't add it because of preference
Peach
4smallcrunchy white peaches (sour the better) (or 2 big crunchy yellow peaches) [peeled/sliced]
1Tbspsugar(add less or more depends on you)
1Tbspfish sauce
2 tsp chili pepper flakes
Instructions
Orange
Mix everything into a bowl and taste to adjust. I like to use navel orange for the sweetness. You can also make this with sour oranges if you want more of that sour sensation. If the navel oranges are too sweet for you, feel free to add lime juice or other acidity of your choice.
Plum
Mix everything into a bowl and taste to adjust seasoning. If the plums are too sour, feel free to add more sugar. Add more fish sauce if needed.
Peach
Mix everything into a bowl and taste to adjust seasoning. If the peaches are too sweet, feel free to add some lime juice. Add more fish sauce if needed. You want crunchy peaches for good texture.
