Chicken Fried Rice with Raw Mango and Basil

I've decided to call myself "The Queen of Leftovers". The pan grilled chicken from last Sunday, went into a Chicken fried rice with raw mango and basil on Monday. It tasted better than the grilled chicken dish itself. The best part about leftovers is that you can turn into a great rice dish or an omlette, or maybe something more.

Ingredients:
Leftover chicken - Shredded
Cooked rice - 2 cups
Raw mango - 1/2 mango grated
Onions - 1 medium, chopped
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Sesame oil - 1 tbsp
Fish sauce - 2 tbsp
Oyster sauce - 1 tbsp

Method:
1. Heat oil, tip in the onions and ginger garlic paste, and let them change colour.
2. Add the chicken, raw mango and basil leaves and saute for a minute or two.
3. Add cooked rice and mix well.
4. Add fish sauce, oyster sauce and mix well.
5. Take off heat and serve.

The fish sauce and oyster sauce are optional. You could go with soy or any other sauce as well. If you have other vegetables like beans, carrots, peppers, mushrooms - toss them in too.
