Start by mixing boiled rice with sesame oil, chili oil, and soy sauce.

Be gentle. Treat the rice with love so it doesn't turn mushy.

Spread the rice out in a thin layer on a parchment-lined tray.

Bake until golden and crispy.

In a bowl, combine vinegar, tahini, sesame oil, chili oil, salt, soy sauce, and a pinch of sugar.

Once the rice is perfectly crisp, transfer it to a mixing bowl.

Add in sliced cucumbers, shredded cabbage, scallions, edamame, and fresh mint.

Pour in the dressing and gently toss everything until coated.

Fold in thin slices of sweet, juicy mango for that burst of tropical freshness.

Plate it up and top with extra mango and a few lemon wedges for zing.

Serve this fresh and watch it disappear in minutes.
