Read for freeAlso known as pickled mango, burong mangga is a Filipino side dish recipe made by submurging unripe mangoes in brine solution for a certain amount of time.
The brine used in burong mangga is made with water, salt, and sugar. However, most modern versions of the recipe use vinegar instead of water to give extra flavor to the dish.
Although the recipe works with mangoes of every variety as long as they’re unripe, the cultivars traditionally used in the traditional recipe are Carabao and Pico.

Let’s just call it a “Filipino take” on the centuries-old food preservation technique that turned out delicious. ;)
