This Hibachi Style Mango Fried Rice cooks up super fast with just a few simple ingredients and tastes just like your favorite takeout! Using a pressure cooker makes it super easy to make this dish in one pot and with minimal prep time. Our version of this mango fried rice allows you to use either fresh or frozen mangos as well as fresh or frozen peas all without the need to thaw, making this a super-easy dish to make regardless of the season or you availability to obtain fresh ingredients.
Ingredients in Mango Fried Rice:
- Butter-you can use whatever style of butter you like for this recipe. I prefer olive oil butter, but regular butter will work just fine.
- Small Onion– a yellow or white onion will work perfectly for this recipe, red onion would have too much flavor to be ideal for this mango fried rice.
- Frozen Peas-there is no need to pre-steam or thaw the peas, you will use them directly from the freezer for this recipe.
- Carrots-For this you can use either peeled and chopped carrots, or chop pre-peeled baby carrots to yield 1/2 a cup.
- Frozen Mango Cubes-I designed this recipe using frozen mango cubes as they are ready to go and fresh mangos can be hard to find much of the year. If you happen to have fresh mangoes available, they would absolutely be a welcomed addition to the dish. Simply peel, dice and proceed as stated in the recipe.
- Garlic Powder
- Pepper-add a few cranks of freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Salt
- Toasted Sesame Oil
- Soy Sauce– I used low-sodium, standard will work fine as well if that is your preference.
- Teriyaki Sauce– This recipe calls for the thinner sauce that is more the consistency of soy sauce than the thicker, stir-fry style sauce.
- Broth-Vegetable or chicken broth will both work fine for this mango fried rice.
- Sushi-style Rice– I used this one
- Eggs-This recipe calls for two large eggs to be scrambled and added to the mango rice. If you prefer (or just can’t find eggs, because, hey, it happens lately), the rice will survive without the eggs.

Can Mango Fried Rice be made in advance or stored?
Absolutely. This fried rice is perfect directly out of the pressure cooker; however, if it is more convenient you can absolutely make it earlier in the day. To reheat, simply put in a microwave safe dish and re-warm.
If you happen to have leftovers, unlikely but alright, simply put them in an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a microwave, spritzing with a bit of water beforehand if the rice seems dry.
