Ingredients
Scale:

1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
1/2 cup peas (frozen)
1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Rice: If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a baking sheet to cool and dry out slightly. Day-old rice is preferred.
Cook the Shrimp: In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if necessary. Add the diced bell pepper, carrots, and peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until tender but crisp.
Add the Rice: Incorporate the cooked rice into the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine with the vegetables, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Season the Rice: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Stir thoroughly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Mix in the Mango: Gently fold in the diced mango and cooked shrimp, cooking for another minute just to warm the mango.
Finish with Green Onions: Add chopped green onions and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish and Serve: Transfer the mango fried rice to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds before serving.
