Questions

How long does Mango Bites take?

As written, 15 minutes: 15 of prep and 0 of cooking. The longest single stretch is the hands-off wait in step 4, 15 minutes.

Why fold instead of stir in Mango Bites?

Step 3 reads: "Toss gently until evenly coated, then fold in 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 3 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

Is Mango Bites spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Mango Bites comes from 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes. For a milder plate, halve the pepper flakes; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Is Mango Bites low-carb?

A serving of Mango Bites carries 18 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of it fiber. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 90 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 18 percent.

How long does Mango Bites keep?

Refrigerate what is left of Mango Bites within two hours and eat it within three days. It is served cold; there is nothing to reheat. Leafy parts wilt first; store them apart if you can.
