Ingredients
- 3 medium carrots
- 1 large ripe mango
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 stalks (sliced) green onion
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
Instructions
Peel and cut the carrots into thin matchstick-sized strips, approximately 2 inches long.
Peel the mango and cut it into small cubes.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and honey. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the mango cubes to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
Pour the soy sauce and honey mixture over the carrots and mango. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook for 2 more minutes.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top. Stir well.
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve warm.
