   Step 5: Add all the mixed sauce from step 2 and all the cooked onion and peppers from step 3 to the chicken and mango from step 4. Stir gently until the sauce is hot and coats everything and the thickest chicken pieces reach 74°C (165°F). Avoid prolonged cooking that breaks up the mango. Taste and adjust with a little salt or additional sugar only if needed. Serve immediately, with ready steamed rice if desired.
