Additional Notes / Tips

  • Use fresh, ripe mangoes — canned ones just don’t flirt with flavor the same way.
  • For extra protein, add edamame or quinoa to the plate.
  • Press tofu well before marinating — it helps absorb flavor like a pro.
  • Drizzle extra lime juice right before serving for that bright, zesty kick.
  • Pairs beautifully with chilled coconut water or a crisp mocktail.
