Servings: persons

Juice of 1 lime
2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 very firm, unripe (green) mango
2 shallot lobes, thinly sliced
12 large mint leaves, stacked, rolled, and thinly sliced
12 basil leaves (preferably Thai), stacked, rolled, and thinly sliced
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
1/2 cup Yucatan-Style Slow-Roasted Pork (page 66), with 1 to 2 tablespoons additional reserved sauce from pan drippings
1 hamburger or other bun, halved and lightly toasted, if desired

1
In a medium bowl, stir together the lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
2
Use a Y-shaped vegetable peeler to peel the mango.
3
Continue using the peeler to cut wide, very thin strips of flesh from the mango, working in as close to the pit as possible on all sides.
4
Arrange the strips facing the same way and use a large knife to thinly slice them lengthwise.
5
You should have about 2 cups of mango strips.
6
Toss the mango in the bowl with the lime juice mixture and add the shallots, mint, basil, cilantro, and jalapeno, tossing to combine thoroughly.
7
Let rest for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
8
Warm the pork by combining it with 1 tablespoon of the extra sauce and microwaving on Medium for 30 to 60 seconds, until it is hot, or put in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes.
9
If desired, add another tablespoon of sauce so that the pork is very juicy and will soak into the bun.
10
To assemble the sandwich, place one of the bun halves on a plate.
11
Pile on the pork, top with about 1/4 cup of green mango slaw and the other bun half, and eat.
