Loosely inspired by Thai green mango salad, yum mamuang, this dish features golden curls of ripe mango enlivened by a squirt of bracing lime juice and fish sauce. Store-bought fried shallots bring easy crunch, and thin circles of sliced chile slap your senses awake. Lush Champagne mangoes are the best here, but sub with your preferred variety, at any stage of ripeness. —Shilpa Uskokovic
