Notes
FAQ
- If you can't find Green Mango, a regular but firm mango can be used instead. Try to look for one that is not ripe yet.
- The Coconut Vinegar can be replaced with Apple Cider Vinegar. It has the same flavor profile.
- Calamansi juice can be replaced with lemon juice, but I would not recommend lime. It's too bitter and will compete with the watercress.
- Bagoong is not replaceable. However in a pinch you can use salt instead. The same with the itlog na maalat.
