Combine the chile paste, peanut butter, fish sauce, lime juice, and fish powder. Toss with the mango, tomato, shallots, and cucumber. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with the green onion, peppers, and basil, and serve.
NOTES: If you can't find green mangos, adequate substitutes are: green papaya or white Chinese cabbage. The Cambodians use any number of dried or
smoked fish products in this recipe: Thai fish powder, smoked whitefish,
dried shrimp, etc. If you don't have access to any of these, try dark meat
tuna.
