MALAYSIA

Here’s the third of our trio of achars, this one from Malaysia. I like to think of it as Southeast Asian coleslaw. The sweetness of the mango and coconut milk makes a particularly welcome addition to a barbecue, as does the contrast of sweet and savory, of hot and cold. As elsewhere in the book, I’ve given a range of chiles. One will make a mild achar; 6 will be Malaysian in its firepower.


   FOR THE DRESSING:
   ___ c coconut milk, canned or homemade
   ___ c white vinegar, distilled
   _ tbs sugar, or more to taste
   _ tbs asain fish sauce, or soy sauce (see note)
   _ tsp ginger, minced fresh
   _ clove garlic, minced
   ___ tsp salt, or more to taste
   ___ tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or more to taste
   FOR THE RELISH:
   _ mango, ripe, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 2 cups)
   ___ head cabbage, green (8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 2 cups)
   _ shallots, thinly sliced
   _ to 6 hot chiles, such as Thai or serrano, thinly sliced (for a milder achar, seed the chiles)


1. Prepare the dressing. Combine the coconut milk, vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, the fish sauce, ginger, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a small nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and let cool to room temperature.

2. Stir in the mango, cabbage, shallots, and chile. Correct the seasoning, adding sugar or salt as needed; the achar should be a little sweet, a little salty, and electrifyingly spicy. You can serve the achar right away, but it will taste even richer if you let it stand for an hour or so (no longer) before serving.

Makes about 4 cups; enough to serve 6 to 8

Note: Traditionally, the achar would be flavored with a malodorous condiment called shrimp paste. I call for fish sauce, which has a similar flavor and is easier to find and use.
