Mango Habanero Fried Rice

Posted by Fischer & Wieser's Culinary adventure on

  • Mango fried rice is not common in these parts of the US, but in Hawaii this dish is just as popular as Aloha!
  • Mango caramelizes on the stove just as well as onions, peppers, and other vegetables.
  • This dish goes great with extra mangoes and leftover cooked rice. The ingredients are short, and it takes about 15-20 minutes to make!
  • Using refrigerated day-old rice gives you the best fried rice texture. Fresh rice would turn this dish to a sticky-almost mushy fried rice. For quick day-old fried rice, cook rice and leave it in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
  • This recipe fits into any dietary lifestyle. You can make it for a quick lunch, meal prep for the week, or serve it on the side of vegetables and your favorite protein.
  • We’re using Fischer & Wieser Mango Ginger Habanero Sauce. This sauce can go with meats, seafood, or crackers for an appetizer. But this sauce also works with fried rice! The key is to use a small amount of sauce and balance that with the right combination of oil & vinegar.
  • The soy sauce gives it the classic Asian-style flavor and the Mango Ginger Habanero adds a mild spice with a fruity mango taste. For an extra culinary step, adding basil & chili pepper while frying, would turn this into a Thai Mango Fried Rice.

Ingredients:
3 tbsp Fischer & Wieser Mango Ginger Habanero Sauce
2 ½-3 cups Day-old Cooked White Rice
½ cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, edamame, corn, etc)
1 mango, diced

Sesame oil (for sautéing)
